Description

Azure Function apps now support being deployed as a docker image within a Linux app service plan. The only primary difference in the underlying ARM properties are the following:

kind: functionapp,linux,container
siteProperties/LinuxFxVersion: DOCKER|{path_to_registry}/{image_name}:{tag}

I don't have a PR yet but would like to volunteer to add support for this.

Based on reading the threads for the referenced items its unclear how it would be best to handle the overloaded kind attribute to automatically be built based on other settings.

The default value for kind in function apps is functionapp. If it's a linux app then it becomes functionapp,linux and finally if its a linux container the value is functionapp,linux,container

One option would be to dynamically build up the kind attribute based on inspecting the app_service_plan_id and other related properties.

Another approach vs. continuing with the linux_fx_version approach would be to split this configuration out into a common object with the properties required to configure a container

container_config = {
    registry_url = "{path_to_registry}"
    image_name = "{image_name}"
    tag_name = "{tag_name}"
}

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_function_app

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "azurerm_function_app" "function_app" {
    name                      = "{name_of_resource}"
    location                  = "{region_for_resource}"
    resource_group_name       = "{resource_group_name}"
    app_service_plan_id       = "{app_service_plan_id}"
    storage_connection_string = "{storage_connection_string}"

    site_config = {
        linux_fx_version = "DOCKER|{path_to_registry}/{image_name}:{tag}"
    }

    #OR

    container_config = {
        registry_url = "{path_to_registry}"
        image_name = "{image_name}"
        tag_name = "{tag_name}"
    }
}

I might be wrong. But it seems like there is already support for this? 1578 @tombuildsstuff @wbreza

EDIT: Apologies, I just realised that this is about the azurerm_function_app resource type
