Error when trying to deploy from ARM in Microsoft Learn platform

Question

Following the course in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/deploy-iot-solution-azure-sql-database/3-exercise-deploy, I get an error when trying to deploy the ARM file. When I execute this command:

az deployment group create -g $resourceGroupName `
--template-file ./azure-sql-iot/azure_deployment/template.json `
    --parameters `
    iothub_name=$iotHub `
    server_sql_name=$serverName `
    server_admin_name=$adminSqlLogin `
    server_admin_password=$password `
    site_iot_name=$iotSite `
    serverfarm_iot_name=$iotServerFarm `
    virtualmachine_devicesimulator_name=$iotSimulator `
    logworkspace_name=$logWorkspace `
    storageaccount_iothub_name=$iotStorageAccount `
    storageaccount_iothub_container=$storageContainer `
    networkinterface_devicesimulator_name=$networkInterface `
    virtualnetwork_iot_name=$vNet `
    ip_address_name=$ipAddressName `
    ssh_public_key=$sshPublicKey
									

I get this error: Please provide string value for 'location' (? for help): northeurope

{"code": "InvalidTemplateDeployment", "message": "The template deployment 'template' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is 'b531b7f9-7ecb-4b81-8e84-ea45b3c18836'. See inner errors for details."}

Inner Errors:

{"code": "ValidationForResourceFailed", "message": "Validation failed for a resource. Check 'Error.Details[0]' for more information."}

Inner Errors:

{"code": "FreeOrSharedFunctionsAppServicePlanNotSupported", "message": "Function apps are not supported in Free or Shared App Service Plans."}

Can someone point me in the right direction? If I am working in my sandbox, how is it possible to get this error? (I confirm the sandbox it still up).

Thanks in advance

@Aitor Aguirre Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

We see that the issue is in the template.json file and as mentioned in the error message function App are supported in either of these plans (Consumption, elastic Premium and Dedicated App service plan) and it is not supported in Free tier plan.
