Unable to create Elastic Beanstalk instances in a Local Availability Zone

Question

Unable to create Elastic Beanstalk instances in a local AZ e.g. us-west-2-lax-1a.

I have a Cloud Formation template which works fine when used in e.g. us-west-2a, but on a local AZ I get this error:

Configuration validation exception: Invalid option specification (Namespace: 'aws:ec2:instances', OptionName: 'InstanceTypes'): Your selected instance types (t3a.medium, t3.medium) aren't available in your selected VPC Subnets. t3a.medium is available in [us-west-2a, us-west-2b, us-west-2c, us-west-2d]; t3.medium is available in [us-west-2a, us-west-2b, us-west-2c, us-west-2d]. Please check your VPC Subnets. (Service: AWSElasticBeanstalk; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ConfigurationValidationException; Request ID: 533a2863-ca53-44c0-bb33-12117ec6a44b; Proxy: null)

Is there a special trick to make this work or is it just not supported?

Answer 1

ElasticBeanstalk is not supported in Local Zones. For the list of supported services please check AWS docs.
