You can get a prepaid eSIM online, depending on your country. It's cheap and you don't have a monthly fee

A few years ago I switched from KeePass, with the database stored in Dropbox, to a SaaS password manager. My primary reasons where:

- No more sync conflicts when using multiple devices

- Backups are taken care off

- It's harder to steal the database

- Slightly better browser and mobile extensions for auto-filling passwords

Did not know these existed. Just ordered a duo sim from my carrier, thanks!

Probably not down, but blocked by your ISP. Try a VPN. Same thing happens here.

That was not the point. Parent was complaining how complicated provisioning and deploying through the Azure portal was.

The vscode extension can both provisions the resource as well as deploy it.

Edit: And yes, it will create every resource it needs if you want to, except for the subscription.

You can just deploy a function.

You open vscode, install the Azure Functions extensions, walk through the wizard to pick your programming language and write the code. Then create and deploy it from vscode without ever leaving your IDE.
