When developing for Azure you should definitely take a look on Visual Studio’s Cloud Explorer (Views > Cloud Explorer) as it has features which are missing in basic Azure portal. E.g. when working with Notification hubs it allows to manage existing subscriptions for push notifications (view and delete if needed). There is one more useful feature if you develop Azure functions which I explored recently: remote debugging. It allows you to attach debugger to remote process of your Azure function app running in Azure and debug it in your Visual Studio.
In order to do that open Cloud explorer > choose subscription > App services > right click on Azure function app > Attach debugger:
If it will show error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x89710023): Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugger named '{tenant}.azurewebsites.net'. The Visual Studio 2017 Remote Debugger (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running on the remote computer. This may be because a firewall is preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance on configuring remote debugging.
ensure that port 4022 which is used by remote debugger is opened in firewall. After that you should be able to debug remote Azure functions running on Azure.
