Hello.

I checked if M6a is supported using the command below.
I have confirmed that it is supported in the "ap-south-1" region.
Could you please tell me specifically from which instance type an error occurred when trying to change to M6a?
Does the error occur with both M5a and M5d?

aws ec2 describe-instance-type-offerings --location-type "availability-zone" --filters Name=location,Values=ap-south-1a --region ap-south-1 --query "InstanceTypeOfferings[*].[InstanceType]" --output text | sort | grep "m6a"
m6a.12xlarge
m6a.16xlarge
m6a.24xlarge
m6a.2xlarge
m6a.32xlarge
m6a.48xlarge
m6a.4xlarge
m6a.8xlarge
m6a.large
m6a.metal
m6a.xlarge

  • I am trying to change from m5a.large, m5d.large to m6a.large

  • I tried changing from M5a and M5d to M6a on EC2 in the Mumbai region and was able to change successfully. Are there any other error messages being output?

I have had this before with RDS even though there’s no issues according to the CLi. Check if the instance is available in the current AZ.

If so, try and create a AMI of the EC2 and recreate with the correct instance type. This is a hack. I’m yet to get to the bottom of this issue with AWS.
