Amazon isn't much better there. Wait until you hit an EC2 quota limit and can't get anyone to look at it quickly (even under paid enterprise support) or they say no.
Also had a few instance types which won't spin up in some regions/AZs recently. I assume this is capacity issues.
The cloud isn’t some infinite thing.
There’s a bunch of hardware, and they can’t run more servers than they have hardware. I don’t see a way around that.
I was surprised hitting one of these limits once, but it wasn't as if they were 100% out of servers, just had to pick a different node type. I don't think they would ever post their numbers, but some of the more exotic types definitely have less in the pool.
