I have just signed up for the free tier and have free resources. But when trying to create Web App, I am unable to create it due to the warning below and when try to create getting below error.
"Operation cannot be completed without additional quota. \r\nAdditional details - Location: \r\nCurrent Limit (F1 VMs): 0 \r\nCurrent Usage: 0\r\nAmount required for this deployment (F1 VMs): 1 \r\n(Minimum) New Limit that you should request to enable this deployment: 1. \r\nNote that if you experience multiple scaling operations failing (in addition to this one) and need to accommodate the aggregate quota requirements of these operations, you will need to request a higher quota limit than the one currently displayed."

    Request an F1 VMs quota limit of 1 for the same subscription and region as the Web App; the deployment error shows that the current F1 limit is zero, so no Free-tier App Service plan can be created there until that limit changes.

    Request the F1 quota

    1. In the Azure portal, search for and open Quotas.
    2. Select App Service (Public Preview).
    3. Filter by:
      • The subscription used for the Web App.
      • West US 3, matching the region shown in the screenshot.
    4. Locate F1 VMs.
    5. Select its pencil/request icon.
    6. Enter 1 as the new total limit, not as an additional amount.
    7. Submit the request.
    8. Wait until the Quotas page displays the updated F1 limit, and then retry creating the Web App in West US 3.

    App Service evaluates both the SKU quota and the Total Regional VMs quota. If Total Regional VMs is zero, do not request that quota directly—request the individual F1 VMs increase, which updates the eligible regional total automatically.^1^

    The message under Region about not finding an App Service plan is informational. The actionable failure is the deployment error stating:

    • Current F1 limit: 0
    • Required: 1
    • Minimum new limit: 1

    If the quota request is unavailable or rejected

    Free, trial, and other restricted subscription offers can have a default limit of zero and might not support App Service quota increases. Check Azure portal → Subscriptions → your subscription → Overview to identify the subscription offer.^1^

    Then use the applicable option:

    • Try another region: Select another region during Web App creation and check its F1 VMs quota first. Quota is assigned separately for each subscription, SKU, and region.
    • Upgrade the subscription: If the free/trial offer does not permit quota increases, upgrade or move the workload to an eligible paid subscription, return to Quotas → App Service (Public Preview), and request F1 quota if it remains zero. Microsoft’s general quota workflow specifies that quota increases are available to paid subscriptions.^2^
    • Open a support request: Do this if the Quotas page directs you to support, the region shows 0 of 0 with no individual SKUs, or a valid self-service request cannot be fulfilled. Include the subscription ID, region, exact SKU (F1), requested new total (1), and the complete deployment error.^1^

    Viewing and submitting App Service quota requests requires the Quota Request Operator role or equivalent permissions on the subscription.^1^
