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 test_runner.go around line 891, then inspect the linked TeamCity run and artifacts for admission-control/disk-bandwidth-limiter. Review the existing issue discussion before deciding whether a code change is needed for the AWS capacity failure; done is a documented resolution and a passing cluster_creation run.
