+## Using this definition with an existing folder
+
+This definition requires an Azure subscription to use. You can create a [free account here](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/serverless/) and learn more about using [Azure Functions with VS Code here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-function-vs-code). Once you have an Azure account, follow these steps:
+
+1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the [getting started steps](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started) to set up your machine.
+
+2. To use VS Code's copy of this definition:
+   1. Start VS Code and open your project folder.
+   2. Press <kbd>F1</kbd> select and **Remote-Containers: Add Development Container Configuration Files...** from the command palette.
+   3. Select the Azure Functions & Python 3 definition.
+
+3. To use latest-and-greatest copy of this definition from the repository:
+   1. Clone this repository.
+   2. Copy the contents of `containers/azure-functions-python-3/.devcontainer` to the root of your project folder.
+   3. Start VS Code and open your project folder.
+
+4. After following step 2 or 3, the contents of the `.devcontainer` folder in your project can be adapted to meet your needs.
+
+5. Finally, press <kbd>F1</kbd> and run **Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container** to start using the definition.
+
+## Testing the definition
+
+This definition includes some test code that will help you verify it is working as expected on your system. Follow these steps:
+
+1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the [getting started steps](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started) to set up your machine.
+2. Clone this repository.
+3. Start VS Code, press <kbd>F1</kbd>, and select **Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container...**
+4. Select the `containers/azure-functions-python-3` folder.
+5. After the folder has opened in the container, press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select **Azure Functions: Create Function...**.
+6. Enter these options:
+   1. Yes (when prompted to create a new project)
+   2. Python
+   3. HTTP Trigger
+   4. HTTPTrigger
+   5. Anonymous
+   6. Open in current window
+7. Press <kbd>F5</kbd> to start debugging project.
+8. After the debugger is started, open a local browser and enter the URL: `http://localhost:7071/api/HttpTrigger?name=remote`.
+    - If the port 7071 is not already open, press <kbd>F1</kbd>, select **Remote-Containers: Forward Port from Container...**, and then port 7071.
+9. You should see "Hello remote" echoed by the Azure Function.
+10. From here, you can add breakpoints or edit the contents of the `test-project` folder to do further testing.
