    Hi Kyle,

    When there is limited capacity in the region they restrict which subscriptions are allowed to deploy MySQL Flexible. 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 (try West US 3) or follow instructions below to request access to East US 2.

    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:

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support

    2. Enter quota in the box and click Go

    5. Select Issue type: Service and subscription limits (quotas), Subscription, Quota type: Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server, click Next

    service and subscription request problem description tab

    6. Now you should be on Additional details tab. Click Enter details

    7. Select Region access or Region access with zonal dependency, select Location you need, enter number of cores needed, click Save and continue

    mysql flexible server request region access

    8. Finish filling out Additional details tab, click Next, review and click Create. You should receive an automated email within a few minutes.

    NOTE: It is possible that they will deny your request due to capacity limit or other reason, but at least you tried.

    Hello Kyle Shannon,

    I understand you're encountering an error when trying to provision an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server in the 'East US 2' region. This is a common issue that other users have also reported.

    The error message, "Subscription... is not allowed to provision in...," typically indicates that the selected Azure region is facing high demand or capacity constraints for this specific service. When a region has limited capacity, Azure may restrict new deployments for certain subscription types to ensure stability for existing customers.

    Here are the recommended steps to resolve this:

    Immediate Workaround

    The quickest solution is to try provisioning the MySQL flexible server in a different Azure region. Often, an alternative region will have the necessary capacity available.

    Solution for a Specific Region

    If you must use the 'East US 2' region, you will need to request access by submitting a support request to increase your quota.

    Here’s how you can do it:

    Navigate to the "Help + support" section in the Azure portal.

    Create a new support request.

    For the issue type, select Service and subscription limits (quotas).

    For the quota type, choose Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server.

    In the details section, select Region access as the request type and specify 'East US 2' as the location you need access to.

    Complete and submit the form.

    Please note that these requests are reviewed based on current capacity, and approval is not guaranteed.

    This issue has been observed in various regions beyond East US 2, such as Southeast Asia and Japan East, and is often a temporary or transient problem related to resource availability.

    I hope this explanation helps you move forward.

    Best regards,

    Jerald Felix
