EC2 is out of capacity - Amazon EMR

EC2 is out of capacity

An "EC2 is out of capacity for InstanceType" error occurs when you attempt to create a cluster, or add instances to a cluster, in an Availability Zone which has no more of the specified EC2 instance type. The subnet that you select for a cluster determines the Availability Zone.

To create a cluster, do one of the following:

  • Specify a different instance type with similar capabilities

  • Create the cluster in a different Region

  • Select a subnet in an Availability Zone where the instance type you want might be available.

To add instances to a running cluster, do one of the following:

  • Modify instance group configurations or instance fleet configurations to add available instance types with similar capabilities. For a list of supported instance types, see Supported instance types. To compare capabilities of EC2 instance types, see Amazon EC2 instance types.

  • Terminate the cluster and recreate it in a Region and Availability Zone where the instance type is available.
