I am trying to create a new MySQL flexible server but I always get the following error during the deployment:

"Provisioning in requested region is not supported. Your subscription might not have access to create a server in the selected region. (https://aka.ms/mysqlcapacity) (Code: ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion)".

I have tried change to deploy it into 3 different regions but I always get the same error.

I also tried it with a different subscription and still the same error.

    Hi Mike,

    Many popular regions have limited capacity. When there is limited capacity in the region they restrict which subscriptions are allowed to deploy MySQL Flexible Server. The error will usually be similar to below:

    ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion Provisioning in requested region is not supported. Your subscription might not have access to create a server in the selected region.

    You should be able to deploy to a different region (e.g. West US 3) or follow instructions below to request access to your preferred region.

    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 your preferred region.

    1. Navigate to this link to start the process:

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support

    2. Enter quota in the box and click Go

    5. Select Issue type: Service and subscription limits (quotas), Subscription, Quota type: Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server, click Next

    service and subscription request problem description tab

    6. Now you should be on Additional details tab. Click Enter details

    7. Select Region access or Region access with zonal dependency, select Location you need, enter number of cores needed, click Save and continue

    mysql flexible server request region access

    8. Finish filling out Additional details tab, click Next, review and click Create. You should receive an automated email within a few minutes.

    NOTE: It is possible that they will deny your request due to capacity limit or other reason, but at least you tried.

    The error message you are encountering, "Provisioning in requested region isn't supported," indicates that your subscription may not have access to create a server in the selected region. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    1. Check Region Availability: Ensure that the Azure Database for MySQL flexible server is available in the regions you are trying to deploy. You can check the availability of services in Azure regions.
    2. Subscription Registration: Make sure that your subscription is registered with the MySQL resource provider. You can register your subscription using the Azure portal or the Azure CLI. To register via the CLI, run the command: 
         az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DBforMySQL
    3. File a Support Request: If you continue to experience issues, you may need to file a support request with Azure to gain access to the selected region. This can be done through the Azure portal.
    4. Try Different Regions: Although you mentioned trying different regions, ensure that you are selecting regions that are known to support Azure Database for MySQL flexible server. Some regions may have restrictions based on your subscription type.

    If you have exhausted these options and still face the same error, it may be beneficial to reach out to Azure support for further assistance.

    I have checked the availability to all 3 regions I tried and it is ok.

    I have run the command via Azure CLI and still the same thing.

    I came here in the first place through Azure support because I cannot raise a ticket if I do not have a paid support plan.

    I need to create a resource and I have to pay a support plan first!!! Is this something logical?
