Create FunctionApp: Hosting tab does not show Storage account option

Question

I have a free azure account and am trying to create a new Function App. But there is an option missing in the Hosting section. I cannot see the "Storage account" option. Only things I see are OS selection and plan selection option. I have tried to log off and log in, creating function app and storage account in a another resource group, in another regions but still no luck. I have created multiple function apps with upgraded account and there never seen this issue/bug.

Answer 1

@Anupam Nath We are sorry to hear you are encountering this issue. It sounds like a UI/UX issue that you are encountering.

Are you using the standard portal? (https://portal.azure.com)?

If so, can you please try creating the resource via the preview portal to see if this helps to resolve the issue? (https://preview.portal.azure.com).

I can see the storage account option in either portal but I hope the preview portal might assist you.

The only other item I can think of is to ensure you have selected a resource group within the basics tab.

Please let us know if you are still encountering this issue. We look forward to your reply.

Answer 3

can you change storage account used by Function app after it will be created? I.e. go to Function app > Configuration and change connection strings stored in AzureWebJobsDashboard and AzureWebJobsStorage app settings.

Hello all - This appears to be an expected behavior stemming from the fact that the underlying Storage Account isn't free. For more info, please review the following thread: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/158731/index.html
