I haven't been able to find the answer to this question and didn't know if anyone could provide insight:
Is there an Azure Resource, besides a Virtual Machine, that can consume/listen_for an incoming TCP Packet on dns:specific_port_X?
Since a Virtual Machine is 'always on' and my data is being sent at a specific time of day this seems like I'm paying for a lot of unused downtime. I'd like to switch to another resource like an Azure Function but I'm under the impression that functions can only 'listen' on protocols HTTP/HTTPS. The data I am 'listening' for can only be sent over TCP. Web Sockets aren't a viable transportation alternative either.
