Monte Carlo Simulations using Durable Azure Functions
Apologies, this question is rather general as I still need to get around prototyping this, but you experts may have a good feel for whether it's feasible or not, and where issues may crop up 🙂

MicrosoftBobbyJ10 There are a couple ways to approach this. If the simulations can run as an Azure Function, Durable Functions can be a good way to orchestrate them as activity functions. There are some settings that you might need to change to make a CPU-bound workload scale properly.
We've also seen customers use Durable Functions to orchestrate workloads running in Batch or Container Instances. That's a good route to go if you need to coordinate compute to do large batches of work.
Thanks AnthonyChu, it's really great that you can chain these services together in this manner. Will keep all of this is mind when I start taking a look into it.
