'az functionapp create' fails with '... AlwaysOn cannot be set ...'

This is autogenerated. Please review and update as needed.

Describe the bug

When creating a function with the --plan arg and specifying an existing F1\FREE app service plan the command fails with ‘… AlwaysOn cannot be set for this site as the plan does not allow it…’. However it is possible to create a Function App through the Azure Portal on a F1\FREE plan.

Command Name az functionapp create

Errors:

There was a conflict. AlwaysOn cannot be set for this site as the plan does not allow it. For more information on pricing and features, please see: https://aka.ms/appservicepricingdetails

• Put any pre-requisite steps here…

az group create …

az appservice plan create… (F1\FREE)

az storage account create…

• az functionapp create --name {} --resource-group {} --storage-account {} --functions-version {} --os-type {} --plan {} --runtime {} --runtime-version {} --subscription {}

Expected Behavior

The same functionality as the Azure Portal should be allowed.

Also when you mention “Consumption plans should not be shared between function apps” - do you mean that there can be only one function app per consumption plan? But I can see many functions app getting created under one consumption app service plan (please refer my attachments)?

Also, I do not understand how this consumption app service plan gets picked up by Azure? Please help me understand?

Thank you

Thanks you @anthonychu. When I run with --consumption-plan-location eastus it works. I see its gets linked to a specific App Service Plan which has already been created. How does azure pick which App Service Plan to get associated? Is there an way we could configure or change or point to an existing app service plan using any azure cli commands?
