@bzbetty We plan to enable the new linux-based Flex Consumption plan there within the next couple of months.

Incredibly confused after trying to deploy an @AzureFunctions Linux consumption to new Zealand north and being denied while the bicep was running. According to azure.microsoft.com/en-us/explore/… it should be available in the region

@bzbetty Sorry for the confusion, agreed that is not straight forward - the Linux Consumption line to look at there is "Consumption Plan Linux" which doesn't show for New Zealand North. "Consumption Plan" is the Windows version - we will investigate how to add Windows there to clear it up

Following the guide gives you full control with each step, but automation options will also be made available in the next year 🔧

@KirkMarple @lilyyym1 We purposely did not document the vCPU for the different memory sizes as they are subject to change (usually for the better). But you can think of the 2GB instance size as having one vCPU and roughly proportional up and down from there.

@lilyyym1 @AzureFunctions Great stuff! Not totally clear from the docs - what are the vCPU available in Flex Consumption plan? Does it scale with instance memory?
