"Not enough available resources" when creating a new app service

Question

When I create a new app service, I get the following error:

{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.","details":[{"message":"No available instances to satisfy this request. App Service is attempting to increase capacity. Please retry your request later. If urgent, this can be mitigated by deploying this to a new resource group."}]}

I have also tried to create the app service under a new resource group as the error message suggests, but I get the same error. I have been getting this same error consistently for the past couple of days. Any idea what's going on, and is there anything I can do on my end to fix it?

@Nathan Lomax The error messages talks about not enough instances being available to satisfy your request. Instances are the VMs. The region you are attempting to deploy to likely has a high number of new web apps being created and thus, supply is having a hard time keeping up with demand.

To get around this, you can try deploying a different size App Service. If you are deploying a B1 instance, try to deploy an S1 instance.

More than likely, you will need to attempt a different region. If you are currently trying East US, try East US2 instead to see if you have better luck.

Those are your two best options to get around this. Thank you for your understanding.
