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-2b). 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-2a, us-east-2c.: exit status 254 [owner=test-eng]

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the roachtest README and the linked TeamCity log and artifacts, then inspect the AWS cluster-creation entry point involved in the failure. Determine how insufficient capacity in us-east-2b should be handled using the suggested zones, and verify that the admission-control/disk-bandwidth-limiter test can complete cluster creation reliably.
