Error "scale operation is not allowed for this subscription in this region" when create a function App

Question

I am running the various steps in Build a serverless web app in Azure and am getting a "The scale operation is not allowed for this subscription in this region. Try selecting different region or scale option" error when "creating a function app". Both the resource group(first-serverless-app) and the storage account(meethagoelstorage) have been created in "west central us", I am trying to create a function app in "west central us" using the

az functionapp create -n meethagoelfunction2 -g first-serverless-app -s meethagoelstorage -c westcentralus

i am using the free 1 year azure subscription. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Free trial subscriptions are not allow to create Azure AppService and ServerLess in West Central US and Brazil South locations. Do try other location instead.
