We are unable to deploy a flexible server database to US east

Thanks for the info. Which US data center's have capacity? US east 2 for example seems logical?

The error code seems to suggest it's a permissions thing rather than a capacity thing:

"error":{"code":"LocationIsOfferRestricted","message":"Subscriptions are restricted from provisioning in location 'eastus'. Try again in a different location. For exceptions to this rule, see how to request a quota increase in https://aka.ms/postgres-request-quota-increase.

Hi Michael Cowling,
The error you’re seeing isn’t about your subscription’s overall capacity but rather about regional restrictions. Specifically, your subscription is not currently allowed to provision resources in the East US region.

To resolve this, you have two options:

Choose a different region when creating the resource (for example, West US, Central US, or any other available region for your subscription).

Request an exception/quota increase if you specifically need East US. Microsoft provides a request form here:

Many popular regions have limited capacity. When there is limited capacity in the region they restrict which subscriptions are allowed to deploy MySQL Flexible Server. The error will usually be similar to below:

ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion Provisioning in requested region is not supported. Your subscription might not have access to create a server in the selected region.

You should be able to deploy to a different region (e.g. West US 3) or follow instructions below to request access to your preferred region.

Please carefully follow my instructions below to create a new Service and subscription limits (quotas) request to allow access to deploy Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server in your preferred region.

1. Navigate to this link to start the process:
