MySQL managed instance in EastUS

Hello,

We used to run MariaDB managed database that is going to be retired soon. We run in EastUS region. We would like to move to MySQL flexible server. For testing purposes we wanted to create a MySQL flexible server instance in the test resource group. However, we get provisioning error:

{
  "code": "ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion",
  "message": "Provisioning in requested region is not supported."
}

does that mean that creating MySQL flexible service is not possible in East US? If so it does not look like we would be able to migrate MariaDB managed service to MySQL in the same region. It's important to us to keep this region because all other resources are in this exact region.

What would be Microsoft recommendation in this situation?

    Hi Alex,

    This error can be a result of limited capacity in the region so they restrict which subscriptions are allowed to deploy. East US is one of the common regions where people see this error.

    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 East US.

    1. Navigate to this link to start the process:
