Cannot create Function App – ServerFarmCreationNotAllowed error

YUSUF HÜRİYETOĞLU 0

Hello,

I am trying to create an Azure Function App using the Consumption (serverless) plan. However, the deployment fails with the following error:

ServerFarmCreationNotAllowed

The subscription 'eXXXXX3-b434-XX2e-9ac8-XXXXXX1e6297' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm.

This happens even though I am deploying a Consumption Plan (Dynamic SKU), which should not require a dedicated App Service Plan.

Could someone from Microsoft help me enable the required resource provider?

Hello YUSUF HÜRİYETOĞLU,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you cannot create Function App – ServerFarmCreationNotAllowed error.

The error is not just about resource providers; it’s a subscription policy/quota issue. The best solution is:

Register providers.
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Web az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DomainRegistration az provider list --query "[?namespace=='Microsoft.Web'||namespace=='Microsoft.DomainRegistration'].{n:namespace,state:registrationState}"

Check policies and allowed SKUs. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/policy/overview and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/overview-hosting-plans

Validate region support - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-scale

Deploy via CLI.
az functionapp create \ --resource-group MyRG \ --consumption-plan-location eastus \ --name myfuncapp \ --storage-account mystorageacct \ --runtime dotnet \ --functions-version 4

Escalate to Azure Support via your Azure Portal if still blocked.

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or clarifications.

Hi @YUSUF HÜRİYETOĞLU,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

I have reached out to you over private message regarding some information. Could you please check and share the requested information to assist you further on this.

Sometimes due to Azure's inbuilt security features, creation is blocked and it can be fixed from backend provided the requested information. But after sometimes you may be able to create the resource once security parameters are met.
