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?

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.

You might also encounter this error when your subscription is hitting the limit on virtual CPUs, which by default is 20. You can create a support ticket to increase that limit.
