## Create a function app
32

33
35
You must have a function app to host the execution of your functions. A function app lets you group functions as a logical unit for easier management, deployment, scaling, and sharing of resources.

1. Select the **Create a resource** button found in the upper-left corner of the Azure portal. Then select **Compute** > **Function App**.

38
-
39
-
2. Use the function app settings as specified in the table below the image.
|**App name**| Globally unique name | Name that identifies your new function app. Valid characters are `a-z`, `0-9`, and `-`. |
46
-
|**Subscription**| Your subscription | The subscription under which this new function app is created. |
47
-
|**[Resource Group](../azure-resource-manager/management/overview.md)**| myResourceGroup | Name for the new resource group in which to create your function app. |
48
-
|**[App Service Plan/Location](./functions-scale.md)**| New | The hosting plan that controls what region your function app is deployed to and the density of your resources. Multiple Function Apps deployed to the same plan will all share the same single free instance. This is a restriction of the Student Starter plan. The full hosting options are [explained here.](./functions-scale.md)|
49
-
|**Runtime stack**| Preferred language | Choose a runtime that supports your favorite function programming language. Choose **.NET** for C# and F# functions. |
50
-
|**[Application Insights](./functions-monitoring.md)**| Enabled | Application Insights is used to store and analyze your function app's logs. It is enabled by default if you choose a location that supports Application Insights. Application Insights can be enabled for any function by manually choosing a nearby region to deploy Application Insights. Without Application Insights, you will only be able to view live streaming logs.
