This document describes how to quickly create an event function in the console.

Step 1. Register a Tencent Cloud account

If you already have a Tencent Cloud account, you can ignore this step.

Step 2. Authorize the service

Log in to the Tencent Cloud console, select Products > Serverless Cloud Function to enter the SCF console, and follow the prompts to authorize SCF. (If you have already authorized SCF, please skip this step.)

   • Create Method: select Function Template.
   • Filter: after entering helloworld, press "Enter" to search for and select the helloworld template. SCF supports multiple runtime environments. This function uses Python 2.7 as an example.

{
"key1": "test value 1",
"key2": "test value 2"
}

Step 6. View logs and monitoring data

Step 7. Delete the function

After the function starts running, it consumes resources. In order to avoid unnecessary fees, this step shows you how to clear all resources.

1. Select Function Service on the left sidebar and click Delete on the right of the function to be deleted as shown below:
