For the last 2 days i have a script that is trying to allocate a c3 instance with no luck. AWS is having crazy capacity problems in us-east (all zones).
Good to know - we were salivating and planning to switch from M1 to C3.
We are also getting multiple 500 ServerInternalErrors trying to allocate them.
in my experince its only us-east-1a that is having problems. i can get instances in b, c, and d no problem.
c3.large instances are awesome!
Keep in mind that your us-east-1a is not necessarily the same as someone else's us-east-1a as they randomly assign the names to reduce the effect of everyone congregating in us-east-1a because it sounds like the best one.
really? thats hilarious. thanks for the info.
Same here. The ones we've managed to snag have been great, but it has made it difficult to scale out in a few situations when they haven't had the capacity.
