The repository https://github.com/Azure/functions-action is currently disabled, preventing any github actions that use Azure/functions-action@v1 from working. Will this be resolved, or is there a new deployment action that I should be switching to?

Azure Functions
Azure Functions

An Azure service that provides an event-driven serverless compute platform.

    The deployment action for Azure Functions remains Azure/functions-action. The official guidance continues to use this action for GitHub Actions–based continuous delivery to an existing function app or deployment slot.

    Key points from the current guidance:

    • Azure/functions-action is the documented action used to publish code from GitHub to Azure Functions.
    • It is used in all the language- and OS-specific workflow templates generated from:
      • Azure portal Deployment Center
      • Azure CLI (az functionapp deployment github-actions)
      • GitHub repository templates
    • The action supports multiple hosting plans (Consumption, Elastic Premium, App Service, Flex Consumption) via parameters such as:
      • app-name (required)
      • package (required; defaults to .)
      • sku and remote-build for Flex Consumption when using a publish profile.

    There is no alternative deployment action documented in the provided material; the recommended approach is still to use Azure/functions-action in the GitHub Actions workflow YAML stored under /.github/workflows/.

    If the repository or action appears disabled in GitHub at a given moment, the supported path in the documentation is still to:

    1. Use the existing Azure/functions-action in the workflow.
    2. (If needed) Regenerate or update the workflow from the Azure portal or Azure CLI so it uses the current templates and parameters.
