In us-east-1, that resolves to us-east-1f, which is not like any other region:
Last week AWS quietly added a new availability zone to us-east–1. This new AZ (us-east–1f) differs from other AZs in a few ways.
It’s consistent between accounts. Other AZs are not– my us-east–1c might be your us-east–1a.
It only supports the latest generation of EC instances– namely the C4, M4, R4, I3, T2, D2, and X1 instance families.
If your code expects 5 AZs in us-east–1 and is now receiving 6, you may have discovered some fun new failure modes last week.
As a result, this week’s tip is to question the assumptions you have about regions– not all AZs are equal, and their numbers aren’t static.
As a result, errors occur in ec2uploadimg that the user cannot resolve in the obvious way:
An error occurred (Unsupported) when calling the RunInstances operation: Your
requested instance type (m3.medium) is not supported in your requested Availability
Zone (us-east-1f). Please retry your request by not specifying an Availability Zone
or choosing us-east-1b, us-east-1d, us-east-1c, us-east-1e.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Suggestions for wording or improvements welcome. This is a configuration or command line setting, if we would not choose the last AZ and a user had, lets say m9 in their configuration file, one would get the same message. A chosen instance type not being available is a general problem, AZ independent, and given that there is no API call to retrieve the available instance types there is no way to verify the user's choice.
