Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server: Regional provisioning restriction in East US — Request for access

Problem description

I am trying to deploy an Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server in the East US region. When I check SKU availability using the Azure CLI command "az postgres flexible-server list-skus -l eastus", it returns the message "Provisioning is restricted in this region," indicating I cannot currently provision resources in East US for my subscription. I want to understand why this restriction exists and how I can gain access to deploy in this region.

Environment

Service: Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server; Target region: East US; Planned deployment: 1 server; Compute tier/SKU: General Purpose, Standard_D4ds_v5; Storage: 256 GiB; High availability: zone-redundant; Backup: geo-redundant; Networking: private endpoint; Subscription context: standard Azure subscription.

What I've already tried

I checked SKU availability in East US using the Azure CLI command "az postgres flexible-server list-skus -l eastus". The command returned the message "Provisioning is restricted in this region," which suggests a regional access restriction. I have also verified that the resource provider "Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL" is registered in my subscription. No other troubleshooting steps have been documented.

Current status

The restriction persists, and I am seeking guidance on how to request access or resolve the regional provisioning restriction so I can deploy my PostgreSQL flexible server in East US.
