Azure Functions: SDK type bindings for Azure Blob Storage with Azure Functions in Python (Preview)

Azure Functions offer a powerful way to integrate events and data sources into function applications. With SDK type bindings, you can take advantage of types from service SDKs and frameworks to enhance the capabilities of Azure Functions triggers. The preview release of SDK type bindings for Azure Storage Blob in Python for Azure Functions is now live! These bindings offer a ton of benefits, including the ability to download and upload large blobs efficiently, leading to reduced memory limitations. Plus, you can easily improve your app's performance by using blobs with Azure Functions. To get started with these bindings, make sure you have the Azure Functions runtime version 4.34.1 or later, Python version 3.9 or later, and the Python v2 programming model. You can follow the steps outlined in the tutorial to enable this feature, along with code samples to get started. If you want hands-on experience in using these bindings, there are Blob storage samples in the Python extensions repository.
