Why can't I recreate an Ampere A1 instance?

edited Aug 24, 2026 8:21PM in OCI - General 1 comment

Summary:

Hello, I'm having the following problem.

I'm creating my instance with the following characteristics:

  • VM.Standard.A1.Flex
  • 2 OCPUs
  • 12 GB RAM

When creating the instance, I get the following message:
API Error
Insufficient capacity on the VM.Standard.A1.Flex unit in the AD-1 availability domain. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain. If this doesn't work, try again later. Learn more about host capacity.

I previously had the Ampere A1 instance created, but now it won't let me create a new one.

Howdy, Stranger!
