 # Azure Functions
 
 Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to run code on-demand without having to explicitly
-provision or manage infrastructure. Think of it as deploying functions that run on pre-defined triggers instead of having
-to write and manage a full-fledged server yourself. One of the most commonly used triggers is an HTTPTrigger which is
-a function that runs whenever it receives an HTTP request (like an API endpoint). Web Template Studio allows you to deploy
-a function app with multiple 'hello world' HTTPTrigger functions (maximum of 10) so you can get to writing your business
-logic as soon as possible!

 ## Functions app in Azure Portal

-You can configure your functions application for advanced settings (like configuring a domain, storage accounts etc.),
-delete your application etc. from your [azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). Once you login to the portal, select
-functions app from the menu bar on the left side and select your application. Your individual functions are listed under
-_functions_ and you can monitor them/integrate them here. Pretty much anything you need to manage about your application

 ## Editing your functions and deploying the changes
 
-We strongly encourage you to install the [Azure Functions](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azurefunctions) extension for VSCode by _Microsoft_ to manage your application. This enables
-you to deploy your changes with a single click and test them out right away instead of manually deploying the new changes.

 ### Deploying manually
 
-If you don't want to install the extension (it is _recommended_ that you install it to make your workflow easier), follow
-one of the ways mentioned in the [Azure app service zip deploy tutorial](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-zip) to manually deploy your updated functions!
