Cannot Create Azure Database for MySQL flexible servers: ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion

Question

Hello commumity,

When trying to create Azure Database for MySQL flexible servers, I am receiving a deployment error: ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion. I have tried multiple regions (UK South, UK West, Europe West, Europe North) and also checked availability of the product via region. I ensured that Microsoft.DBforMySQL is an enabled resource provider under my subscription. My subscription is credit-based and I already have an instance of MySQL Flexible Server running. Ideally, I would downgrade this, however I cannot downgrade storage. I cannot create a support ticket, as I do not have a support plan.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In popular regions (all those you mentioned are included) they have restricted which subscriptions can create new MySQL Flexible servers due to capacity limitations. You may request quota increase for your existing region or request region access for a different region, however, it is possible they will deny your request.

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

For example, on Step#3 it may ask you to select your subscription and then select Problem type (Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server) before showing you Create a support request button.
