Building and managing .NET Core function dependencies
Cloud Functions supports two methods of managing .NET Core function dependencies: automatic installation via nuget and adding dependencies manually together with the source code.
NuGet
NuGet is a package management system for .net.
To install dependencies using nuget, add a link to the required package to the *.csproj project file. No further steps are required. You can do this using the .NET Core CLI.
Manual delivery of dependencies
To configure dependencies manually, place the compiled project with all the dependencies in the project archive root.
You can do this using the .NET Core CLI publish command.
In this case, you do not need to add the source code or project files to the archive.
Dependency installation is limited in terms of resources and execution time. For more information, see Quotas and limits in Cloud Functions. You can view the dependency installation log via the link displayed in the list of operations.
