1. Dedicated app service plan
2. Consumption plan
3. Premium plan (called as elastic premium plan)

• VNET Integration- To add more security to your app, you can configure a VNET and add your function app. With this, your function app is secured with service endpoints. VNET integration is not available in other plans.
• Pre-warmed instances to avoid cold start - In consumption plan, if there are no execution/calls to your function app it scales in to Zero instances. Once it goes to zero instances, if we make any function call, it takes some time(called as cold start time) to respond to the first call (from zero to one). This latency can be avoided in Premium plan with pre-warmed instances.
• Unlimited execution duration - Consumption plan has a 10 minutes limit whereas Premium plan defaults to 30 minutes but you can modify it to unlimited(60 minutes guaranteed). Use functiontTimeout property in host.json file to change the configuration.
• Premium hardware - Provides best cores(1, 2 and 4), memory and storage.
• Multiple function apps can be deployed to the same plan and all function apps in premium plan shares pre-warmed active instances.
• Automatic Scaling - Like consumption plan, your app will scale in or scale out based on the need.

1. Tool based deployments - deployments are managed locally. Useful when you are doing local development and requires multiple ad-hoc deployments manually.
• Visual Studio Code publish
• Visual Studio publish
• Core tools deployments (using Zip deploy or docker container)
2. App Service Deployment - deployments are managed from the Azure App Service under Deployment section. Useful when you want to deploy as part of source control commits or from a container registry.
• Deployment center - Continuous deployment using Azure Repos, GitHub, Bitbucket and Local Git or Manual deployment using One drive, Dropbox, External Git and FTP.
• Container deployments
3. External Pipelines - deployment are managed by pipelines. Useful for Production scenarios where you want to do some additional validations as part CI/CD.

• DevOps pipelines
• GitHub actions

1. Serverless -  Focus more on building your apps faster to add business value without managing infrastructure.
2. Language of your choice - Develop your function code using C#, Java, JavaScript, Powershell and Python languages of your choice
3. Custom development  - Bring your own dependencies using  Nuget and NPM to extend your application logic.
4. Continuous Integration and Deployment - Set up your function code with continuous integration and deployment using GitHub, Azure DevOps, bitbucket and other CI/CD processes.
5. Built-in Security - Protect your functions with SSL Bindings, VNet integration and OAuth providers. You can authenticate users with the OAuth standard from providers such as Active Directory, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft Account
6. Scale on demand - Automatically scale out whenever there is a need  by adding compute power and scale in when the code is stopped running
7. Optimized Pricing - Pay only when your app runs.
8. Performance and Monitoring - Easily configure Azure App Insight to your App for monitoring and analyzing the app performance
9. Connect to Other Services - Use triggers and bindings that enable your serverless applications to respond to events and connect to other services seamlessly
10. Choice of hosting plan - Based on your need, you can opt for Consumption, Premium or App Service Plan
