Not able to choose Storage account when creating Function App

I have a free azure account and am trying to create a new Function App from the Azure portal according to an online course. But there is an option missing in the Hosting section. I cannot see the "Storage account" option that is described everywhere I look. If I finish the creation without this I get an error about the storage not being correctly configured.

On the first page I choose "West Europe" and .NET

https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/how-to-easily-create-azure-functions-using-azure-portal/
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-function-app-portal

I tried to create a storage before creating the function app and connect it via the setting AzureWebJobsStorage with no luck. Also read later that storage had to be involved in the creation process of the Function App for it to work.

Don't know what to do, I'm stuck.95918-azurefuncapperror.png

Well you should give thanks to the poor UI design of MIcrosoft (surprise!). What is happening is you probably are using free trial, which as 1.5GB limit. You have likely created multiple function apps, which is eating up your 1.5GB limit. So when you are going to create a new one, it doesn't even give you an option. What should have happened is to warn you that you are going over limit and you should free up some space.

What you need to do is delete some old unused function apps.

Hello @PatrikHiemFlyckt-6614, Welcome to Microsoft QnA. Thanks for sharing the observation.

It is probably because of the storage account has free tier. However, the function app should work but it won’t be able to cross-stamp scale (since it’s missing the storage account) and therefore might fail under load or might have unpredictable scaling.
I will double click on this and see if I could get any other explanation.

az functionapp create --consumption-plan-location westus --name mydurableappneo --os-type Windows --resource-group MyAppGrp --runtime node --functions-version 3 --storage-account neostoreapp1


run the above command on Bash:
make sure you create your storage account in the ResourceGroup you're using before running this command. This should solve your problem for now.
