'No available shapes in this compartment and availability domain

I'm using the OCI San Jose region and I'm trying to create a capacity reservation in OCI under Compute -> Capacity Reservation but whenever I try to create a capacity reservation, the Shape dropdown list is greyed out with the message:

No available shapes in this compartment and availability domain

Does this mean that this region is at capacity and is not capable of reservations at this time? Or is there a limit or restriction I'm not aware of?

I've been trying each day this week but the message remains the same.



Solution 1:[1]

It does mean that for that specific shape, the region is at capacity and not capable of taking reservations. You can certainly file a support request to find the capacity situation. This does seem to indicate that your use of reservations is sound practice.

You can also use the command line interface to check the region for available shapes:

$ oci compute shape list or better $ oci compute shape list | jq -r .data[].shape | sort | uniq
