A newsroom developer stores a storage connection in local.settings.json and expects it in Azure after deploy, but the cloud function app has no connection. What should the developer understand about these files?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
local.settings.json is the sticky note on the laptop—great at home, left behind on deploy. Put real cloud secrets in application settings. host.json travels with the app because it describes host behavior, not laptop secrets.
Full Explanation
local.settings.json is excluded from Azure deployment by design and holds local secrets and connection strings. Application settings in the function app supply cloud configuration. host.json defines host-level behavior (concurrency, extensions, logging) and is deployed with the app content.
