Use GitHub Actions because Proseware requires an automated, version-controlled deployment pipeline and explicitly prohibits local and command-line deployments. Microsoft documents GitHub Actions as a supported CI/CD mechanism for Azure Functions: a workflow stored under .github/workflows can build and deploy Function app code automatically in response to repository events such as pushes or pull requests. The Azure Functions deployment action can deploy the application package directly to the target Function app.

GitHub Actions also satisfies the infrastructure requirement. Microsoft provides first-class support for deploying Bicep templates through GitHub Actions , enabling Azure resources to be provisioned declaratively from the same source-controlled pipeline. A pull-request workflow can perform validation or Bicep what-if analysis before changes are merged, while a main-branch workflow can perform the actual deployment after approval. This provides repeatability, auditing, and separation from individual developer machines.

Azure Functions Core Tools and Azure CLI are commonly used for interactive/local deployments, which directly conflicts with the requirement to eliminate command-line deployment. Local Git deployment also fails the requirement for a centrally automated Bicep-based deployment process.
