如何在 Azure 中运行 Python 脚本

Question

I have a Python script that gets data from Azure Event Hub and saves in into an Azure Cosmos DB database. I currently run this script on a local machine but I'd like to run the script in my companies Azure account. What Azure service could / should I use to run this script permanently?

By 'permanently' I mean that I don't want to use any kind of triggers or other options provided by the Azure Function App because I want it to run non-stop.

Answer 1

Usually Azure functions can run continuously until the messages are stopped.

Else as you mentioned apart from functions, We can run a script non stop with help of webjob in Azure App service. Here we will be having two types of webjob:

1. Triggered: This will run the script based on a trigger.

2. Continuous: This will run until the job is completed.

Continuous WebJob runs on all instances that the web app runs on. You can optionally restrict the WebJob to a single instance.

Also our code will be deployed under \\site\\wwwroot\\app_data\\Jobs\\Continuous .

Find the below screenshot for its differences:

Below are the steps about the creation:

1. Azure Portal -> App Service Web App.

2. In the left pane we will find WebJobs.

3. Add a new WebJob and attach the script under File Upload.

Check for the rest of the configurations from MS Docs .
