When you create or start an AKS cluster, Microsoft Azure allocates compute resources to your subscription. You might occasionally experience the `AKSCapacityError` error because of significant growth in demand for Azure Kubernetes Service in specific regions.

The `KubernetesAPICallFailed` error message indicates that the AKS cluster didn't start and doesn't have an associated control plane. Therefore, calls to the API server are failing. In this case, you have to retry the Start operation.

The infrastructure that hosts AKS managed clusters have different allocation reservations. Therefore, AKS might have more capacity for public clusters than for private clusters. If you encounter the `AKSCapacityError` error when you try to create a private cluster, try to create a public cluster instead or vice versa.

When capacity is running low, we limit free tier AKS clusters for customers who don't have an Enterprise Agreement (EA) subscription first in order to reserve resources for real production scenarios. Make sure that you use an EA subscription to create your AKS cluster.

When capacity is running low, non-Enterprise Agreement (EA) subscriptions are limited first in AKS cluster creation to reserve resources for real production scenarios. If you have an EA subscription, make sure that you use the EA subscription to create the AKS cluster.

Capacity is often reclaimed when other users stop or delete their AKS clusters. Therefore, the operation might succeed if you retry it later.

- Ensuring capacity for users is a top priority for Microsoft, and we're working around the clock to reach this goal. The increasing popularity of Azure services emphasizes the need for us to scale up our infrastructure even more rapidly. With that in mind, we're expediting expansions and improving our resource deployment process to respond to strong customer demand. We're also adding a large amount of compute infrastructure monthly.

We have identified several methods to improve how we load-balance under a high-resource-usage situation, and how to trigger the timely deployment of needed resources. Additionally, we're significantly increasing our capacity, and will continue to plan for strong demand across all regions. [This September 2021 Azure Blog article](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/advancing-reliability-through-a-resilient-cloud-supply-chain/) discusses improvements that we're making toward delivering a resilient cloud supply chain.
