Answer 1

Your YAML deployment file seems mostly correct, but the issue could be related to one of the following common causes:

• You’re using az functionapp deployment source config-zip with az CLI, but the package path might not be correct.
• Make sure that your Function App is properly created in Azure as a Function App and not a regular Web App
• If deploying to Linux, you need appType: functionAppLinux.

Updated YAML for Azure Function Deployment

• This corrects potential issues and improves reliability.
