Azure Functions: Consumption Plan Custom Naming

This is a quick post on how you can give a proper name for Azure Functions' App Service Plan when Plan Type is Consumption (Serverless). 

As of today when you are creating an Azure Function and if you select the Plan Type as Consumption (Serverless), you aren't allowed to give your own name for the App Service Plan.

That's it!

Happy Coding.
