“ Instances Unavailable - We tried using the new SSD hi1.4xlarge instances in us-east-1b, but these were usually unavailable during peak hours. Our Amazon contact told us that these instances really were just unavailable, due to popular demand. We hit a similar problem in us-east-1d, where we failed to launch just an m1.xlarge instance. This served as a reminder that EC2 does not (yet?) have infinite scale of its services, and required reserves need to be built into the operational models for the types of instances and their numbers. „
