Creating a Function App in Azure to provide a Hello message with your name.

The Azure Functions service enables you to host a single method or function that runs in response to an event such as a queued message, HTTP request, or timer event.
You can use any of several programming languages, such as Python, Java, JavaScript, C#, and PowerShell, to create functions.
Like many other services, the Azure Functions service scales automatically, enabling your function to scale to meet changes in demand without any interaction or configuration by your developers. Perhaps best of all, you pay only for the time and resources needed while a function is running.
Generally, an Azure function is stateless, meaning it does not store its state from execution to execution. Instead, it executes the same every time it responds to an event.
