Azure Functions
Azure Functions is an event driven, compute-on-demand experience that extends the existing Azure application platform with capabilities to implement code triggered by events occurring in other Azure services, SaaS products, and on-premises systems. With Azure Functions, your applications scale based on demand and you pay only for the resources you consume. Azure Functions provides an intuitive, browser-based user interface allowing you to create scheduled or triggered pieces of code implemented in a variety of programming languages.

Support for Azure Managed Service Identities in EventHub (and other) triggers
In Event Hub, I can add my Function App's MSI as a data reader, but in the function I cannot use trigger bindings to read from the queue without using a SecureAccess Key. We are trying to go password free wherever possible, and Azure has been promoting this course of action, so why do we need secret keys for reading from the queue? It then forces us to create and share a secret key for partner teams to read from our queue, rather than just permissioning them in Event Hub.

use key vault reference in local.settings.json
would like the ability to use the new key vault reference in local.settings.json for local debugging instead of needing to have secrets in plain text. this would allow dev teams to leverage key vault as the central location for secret management.

What is the timeline for supporting the new Azure SDKs?
I really want to get rid of the connection strings in my functions and I want to be able to switch to the Azure.Identity SDK for auth. I understand that this will be a breaking change, however some communication about the plan would be nice.
1 voteWe’re unable to provide a specific timeline on this here, but it is certainly planned. Likely this will come in phases, with the Storage support being made available first.
