I abandoned Azure a few weeks ago over this. I was trying to spin up something approximating a basic-ass 2 core windows server in any region and was getting denied.

If you have a choice, I would move to a different provider. Microsoft needs a wakeup call. I don't know how you can tout "hyperscalar" when your customers are standing in line and begging for days to get at a single bowl of soup.

I have reached limits on all cloud providers, it might surprise you but there's no "real cloud", it's just computers, and computers are a limited number of resources. For many reasons cloud providers might run out of computers on regions

Nope, not a surprise. I've been doing cloud for a while.

What I've never experienced from a cloud provider is a denial at creating infrastructure and told to use a different region.

OpenAI is probably taking all their servers?
