Creating a queue-triggered function

In the previous section, you created a sample HTTP function. In this section, you'll build another sample using a queue-triggered function. Queues are often used to pass messages between different components of an application. A function can be triggered based on messages in a queue to then perform additional processing on these messages.

In this section, you'll create a function that is integrated with Azure storage queues to consume events. You will also configure KEDA to allow scaling to/from zero pods in the case of low traffic.

1. To begin, create a new storage account. Search for storage accounts in the Azure search bar and select Storage accounts:
