Deploy failure when trying to increase performance tier of Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server

Jason Harper 0

I have a running database in the East US region. It is used by applications running in East US. I went to increase the performance tier of my database and had a deployment failure with the following error message:

{

"code": "LocationIsOfferRestricted",

"message": "Subscriptions are restricted from provisioning in location 'eastus'. Try again in a different location. For exceptions to this rule, see how to request a quota increase in https://aka.ms/postgres-request-quota-increase."

}

Is this a transient issue? How can I tell when / if there will be resources available? Do I have any other options besides moving everything to another region to increase the performance of my database? How do I know I won't have this issue in a different region? Can I get guidance on what resources are available where?
