Discontinuation of the ru-central1-c availability zone

Yandex Cloud plans to gradually discontinue the ru-central1-c availability zone. Starting April 2022, its operation is limited:

• Zonal quota, a new type of quota, has been introduced for the number of zonal resources in ru-central1-c. You can increase such quotas only by contacting support. Zonal quotas apply to the following services:

  • Compute Cloud (VMs and VM computing resources, instance groups, disks, file storages, dedicated hosts)
  • Managed Service for Kubernetes (nodes)

  Zonal quota numbers will be published later in Quotas and limits in Compute Cloud and Quotas and limits in Managed Service for Kubernetes.

• In ru-central1-c, new Yandex Cloud zonal features are unavailable. You cannot create:

  • Compute Cloud VMs with GPUs
  • Compute Cloud VMs based on Intel Ice Lake Compute-Optimized
  • Compute Cloud dedicated hosts based on Intel Ice Lake
  • Managed Service for Greenplum® database hosts

As part of discontinuation, starting May 28, 2024, all our ru-central1-c users will no longer be able to:

• Create new Managed Service for Kubernetes master hosts and node groups.
• Create or update MDB cluster hosts.
• Enable ru-central1-c in Application Load Balancer to accept traffic.
• Enable ru-central1-c in Instance Groups to accept traffic.
• Create new Managed Service for GitLab instances.
• Create new Cloud Desktop instances.
