Just doing the iac and pipeline to get azure functions containers building and deploying to Azure container apps. Fingers crossed I get it all written in a couple of days!

Had an awful time trying to get aks running years ago trying to combine R and aad on to it. Literally the only tech to make me feel stupid and cry! Instead published the r container to app services in 30 minutes with wraparound Auth and all was right with the world.
