- Alternative solutions for CuRP scenarios
For workflows previously using CuRP, Microsoft suggests several alternatives. Deployment Scripts can be used for triggering endpoints without persistent resource management. Bicep Extensions are an option if Bicep is used for similar endpoint triggering scenarios. Azure Functions are recommended for solutions involving the triggering of multiple endpoints or services.
