An error occurred (InsufficientInstanceCapacity) when calling the RunInstances operation (reached max retries: 2): We currently do not have sufficient m7g.xlarge capacity in the Availability Zone you requested (us-east-2a). Our system will be working on provisioning additional capacity. You can currently get m7g.xlarge capacity by not specifying an Availability Zone in your request or choosing us-east-2b, us-east-2c.: exit status 254 [owner=test-eng]

Jira issue: CRDB-65754

Start with the roachtest README and the failure reported at test_runner.go:840, then inspect the linked TeamCity log and artifacts for the AWS RunInstances failure. Compare the repeated failures listed for other branches and determine the appropriate cluster-creation behavior; done means the affected roachtest no longer fails because of this capacity condition.
