An error occurred (InsufficientInstanceCapacity) when calling the RunInstances operation (reached max retries: 2): We currently do not have sufficient m6id.2xlarge capacity in the Availability Zone you requested (us-east-2a). Our system will be working on provisioning additional capacity. You can currently get m6id.2xlarge capacity by not specifying an Availability Zone in your request or choosing us-east-2b, us-east-2c.: exit status 254 [owner=test-eng]

Research direction

Start with the roachtest README and the linked TeamCity log for cluster_creation on release-25.2. Trace the AWS provider path that invokes ec2 run-instances and compare its handling of the reported InsufficientInstanceCapacity error. Done means the cluster_creation test completes successfully in the reported setup, with the capacity failure addressed or its handling clearly established.
