getting message "MySQL flexible server is not available for your selection of subscription and location." when trying to create new WordPress site

getting message "MySQL flexible server is not available for your selection of subscription and location." when trying to create new WordPress site. I'm selecting a subscription that already has a MySQL flexible server in it and the region is US East (same location as the existing server).

Hi Anthony Diaz,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. We have reviewed your concern and outlined a few steps below that may help resolve the issue.

Region Restrictions: Sometimes, certain subscriptions might not have access to create resources in specific regions, or the region you're trying to use may have run out of capacity for the required resources. Check if the US East region allows MySQL flexible servers for your subscription by viewing any available capacity using the region availability documentation.

Quota Issues: Each subscription has limitations on how many resources can be created. Check if you've reached the limit in your subscription and consider requesting a quota increase if necessary. Details on how to request this can be found here.

Creating Servers: When creating a new MySQL flexible server, follow the required configuration settings closely, as listed in the quickstart guide. This includes choosing the right compute tiers and ensuring everything matches the needs of your application.

Hi Anthony Diaz,

Thank you for your patience and for sharing the context around your deployment scenario. I completely understand how important it is for you to provision staging slots within the same region, and I realize the current limitation in the East US region is impacting your deployment.

Currently, there’s no confirmed ETA for restoration of provisioning capabilities in East US region, but our engineering team is actively working on resolving the issue and restoring full functionality as soon as possible.

If services cannot be created there right now, it unfortunately means you would need to consider relocating your entire deployment to a region where this functionality is fully supported.

Hi @Vrishabhanath Patil I am also facing this same issue while creating Wordpress on App Service. I have tried to select all the regions one by one but getting the same error in response "MySQL flexible server is not available for your selection of subscription and location."
Is there any way I can check which region is available for me or anything wrong with my subscription?

Hi @Julia Webley ,

Please refer to the following knowledge base article for details on regional availability -

Note: - The East US region is currently experiencing limitations that may affect your deployment, and there is no confirmed timeline for restoring provisioning capabilities. To ensure uninterrupted functionality, we recommend relocating your deployment to a region where full support is available.

Hello Anthony Diaz,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you are getting message "MySQL flexible server is not available for your selection of subscription and location." when trying to create new WordPress site.

To resolve the core issue immediately:

Verify subscription/provider registration by using Azure CLI az provider list --namespace Microsoft.DBforMySQL --query "[].registrationState" az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DBforMySQL

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/flexible-server/how-to-troubleshoot-common-errors and https://docs.azure.cn/en-us/mysql/flexible-server/how-to-troubleshoot-cli-errors gives more details.

Refer to region-specific quotas via Azure region capacity use CLI:

`az mysql flexible-server list-skus --location eastus --query "[? tier!='Disabled']"`

If none return, the region is unavailable.

If unavailable submit a quota request, In Azure portal > Help + support > Quotas > Azure DB for MySQL Flexible Server > select East US cores. - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-databases-docs/blob/main/articles/mysql/flexible-server/how-to-troubleshoot-common-errors.md
Immediate workaround is to choose areas with capacity, e.g., West US 3 or North Europe - see guides on this platform here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5635323/cant-create-mysql-flexible-server, and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5606251/getting-message-mysql-flexible-server-is-not-avail Then, deploy identical resources there, then replicate or migrate as needed (e.g., using mysqldump).
If WordPress App Service and MySQL are region-dependent, consider:

VNet peering between AppService and MySQL in another region
Use cross-region read replicas or a geo-replicated server

If relying on East US monitor and wait by:

Subscribe to Azure Service Health, Resource Health alerts

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or clarifications.
