I want to use 2 blobs containers to trigger that azure function. Is there also a way to recognized which blob storage trigger the azure function? Please help. Thank you! Python
There are no plans to support multiple triggers per Function.
Each function has only one trigger but it can have multiple input bindings.
For your need, aving your blob uploads trigger an Event Grid event, and have an Event Grid Triggered function which is fired for each blob uploaded.

Just for reference I am coming from AWS so any comparisons would be welcome.
I need to create a function which detects when a blob is placed into a storage container and then downloads the blob to perform some actions on the data in it.
I have created a storage account with a container in, and a function app with a python function in it. I have then set up a event grid topic and subscription so that blob creation events trigger the event. I can verify that this is working. This gives me the URL of the blob which looks something like https://<name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<blob-name>. However then when I try to download this blob using BlobClient I get various errors about not having the correct authentication or key. Is there a way in which I can just allow the function to access the container in the same way that in AWS I would give a lambda an execution role with S3 permissions, or do I need to create some key to pass through somehow?
Edit: I need this to run ASAP when the blob is put in the container so as far as I can tell I need to use EventGrid triggers not the normal blob triggers

This can be achieved by using an Azure Blob storage trigger for Azure Functions.
The Blob storage trigger starts a function when a new or updated blob is detected. The blob contents are provided as input to the function.
This last sentence, "The blob contents are provided as input to the function", means the blob can be an input parameter to the Function. This way, there's no (or less) need for you to download it manually.

Have a look at Using Managed Identity between Azure Functions and Azure Storage.
EDIT
I have understood correctly the normal blob trigger can have up to 10 minutes of delay?
This is correct, a Blob trigger could have up to 10 minutes of delay before it actually triggers the Function. The second part of the answer still stands, though.
The answer lied somewhere between #rickvdbosch's answer and Abdul's comment. I first had to assign an identity to the function giving it permission to access the storage account. Then I was able to use the azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredential class to automatically handle the credentials for the BlobClient
I have a time-triggered Azure Function written in Python which gets a list of URLs (list is not static). For every URL I want to trigger an Azure Function and pass the URL to it for further processing.
How can I do this transition from one Azure Function to another? What's the best way to trigger the second function and pass the data to it?
You can do this one of 3 ways:
Once your Function ends, call the http triggered function that you want with a post request and a body filled with data that you want to send.
Write the function output to a blob or cosmosdb or postgresdb and create a blob/cosmos/postgres triggered function that triggers off of that input.
Create a durable function and chain a few functions together!
Good luck :)

In your situation, you can foreach the list of the urls, create a new httptrigger function, put the url as the body of the request and process the url in the httptrigger function. You can call the httptrigger function by sending request to the httptrigger url.
I think you should try to use Durable Functions for this usecase. You will have better control over the activities sharing data from one another.

I have a blob container containing multiple files. I'm interested in binding the last modified one as input for an azure function. The function is implemented in python.
I thought I could do this by binding a blob container as CloudBlobContainer and then iterate over the files to find the last modified one. According to this thread it seems like binding to a container is possible in C#. But I can't figure out how to do this in Python. CloudBlobContainer doesn't seem to exist for Python. What other alternatives do I have?
According to this thread it seems like binding to a container is
possible in C#.
It seems that you have already seen the Usage of Blob Trigger Azure Function document.Another evidence is that,actually,all bindings of dev language platform except C# are built on the ExtensionBundle.You could see there is no Container type in the supported list.
So, i guess you have to implement it with python blob storage sdk in the Azure Function method. Or you could submit feedback to Azure Function Team to improve the product.
My Python Azure Function configuration file (function.json) defines a Blob storage trigger.
When the Azure Function wakes up (i.e. the server shown in Live Metrics becomes online after some sleeping time) it processes all the existing blobs regardless which ones have already generated trigger events.
I noticed that the azure-webjobs-hosts/blobreceipts folder is populated with sandboxhost637nnn folders. A new sandboxhost folder is created every Azure Function wake up event. This way the function forgets previously processed blobs (no old receipts found). In the past (Dec ’19), I remember that a unique webjobs-hosts folder containing all receipts persisted across invocations.
To explain why this happens:
Irrespective of your environment , the blob trigger, by design, keeps track of new & updated blobs by maintaining blob receipts in azure-webjobs-hosts container. These receipts are correlated by their **eTags** to **host ID** of your Functions runtime.
When your function wakes up, it'll result in change of your **host ID and the eTag->host ID correlations** you previously had will no longer apply which then results in the new host re-processing all of your existing blobs -- the behavior you've observed.
The recommendation is to use Event Grid trigger instead or use the Azure app service base plan for your function app which will be costlier.

Hope it helps.
I am not sure what happened to you. But this problem should not occured any more now.
This is an old problem. And the sdk has update.
BlobTriggers will be processed only once now, have a look of this:
https://azure.microsoft.com/zh-cn/blog/announcing-the-0-5-0-beta-preview-of-microsoft-azure-webjobs-sdk/
May be your problem is a new one. But you need to provide your logs and SDK you used. Then we can help you solve this. Let me know if you update later.
I have a use case where i want to invoke my lambda function whenever a object has been pushed in S3 and then push this notification to slack.
I know this is vague but how can i start doing so ? How can i basically achieve this ? I need to see the structure
There are a lot of resources available for both integrations (s3+lambda and lambda+slack) so if you can put these together you can make it work.
You can use S3 Event Notifications to trigger a lambda function directly:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/NotificationHowTo.html
Here are some blueprints to integrate lambda with slack:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-slack-integration-blueprints-for-aws-lambda/
Good luck!
You can use S3 Event Notifications to trigger the lambda function.
In bucket's properties, create a new event notification for an event type of s3:ObjectCreated:Put and set the destination to a Lambda function.
Then for the lambda function, write a code either in Python or NodeJS (or whatever you like) and parse the received event and send it to Slack webhook URL.
