Connecting a function app to Application Insights

HealthPulse Medical is ready to deploy their patient notification service using Azure Functions. In the previous exercise, you created an Application Insights resource to collect telemetry. Now you need to create a function app and connect it to that Application Insights instance during setup. By enabling monitoring from the start, the team will have complete visibility into the service from its very first request.
