HOW TO USE IT

For an Azure Functions Flex Consumption app, set `remoteBuild: true` on its service in `azure.yaml` to build the deployment package remotely with Oryx.

services:
  <service-name>:
    project: <project-path>
    language: <language>
    host: function
    remoteBuild: true

WHY THIS HELPS

Configure an Azure Functions flex consumption app to use remote builds.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

Version: 1.23.5
services.<service-name>.remoteBuild: Boolean; `true` builds the function deployment package remotely using Oryx; `false` deploys the package as-is. If omitted, defaults to true for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python function apps.
services.<service-name>.host (required): Set to `function`; `remoteBuild` is only valid for function services.
services.<service-name>.project (required): Path to the service source directory; function services using source projects require this instead of `image`.
Prerequisite: Use azd 1.23.5 or later for the option introduced in that release.
Applies to Azure Functions flex consumption apps.
Docs conflict: The current schema reference describes `remoteBuild` as a general remote image build option. The release note and function-specific schema describe it for function app package builds; this answer follows the release note’s function-app context.
