Deprecation of the ru-central1-c availability zone

Yandex Cloud plans to gradually deprecate the ru-central1-c availability zone. Starting April 2022, its operation will be limited.

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

  • Compute Cloud (VMs and VM computing resources, instance groups, disks, file storage, 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 can't create:

  • Compute Cloud VMs with GPU and vGPU.
  • Compute Cloud dedicated hosts on Intel Ice Lake.
  • Managed Service for Greenplum® database hosts.
