Exploring Language Support and Security in Azure Functions

This chapter delves into the language support and security considerations within Azure Functions, covering historical changes in .NET code execution models, container-level isolation for security, and the importance of multi-tenancy and cross-tenant isolation. The conversation also touches on Firecracker micro VM technology, WebAssembly system interface, and the value of understanding systems at a lower level for better efficiencies. Challenges with Azure Functions, like platform opacity and authentication scalability issues, are also discussed.
