I'm trying to create a Mac EC2 instance by following this AWS User Guide however it fails with the error seen in the screenshot below:

EC2 Mac Error

What I have tried so far :

  • Using other AWS regions such as Ireland, Oregon with a combination of different availability zones but still received the same error message.

  • Launching a Mac EC2 instance using the AWS CLI command below:

    aws ec2 allocate-hosts --region us-east-1 --instance-type mac1.metal --availability-zone us-east-1c --quantity 1 --profile syumaK

Result of the above command failed with the below message :

An error occurred (UnsupportedHostConfiguration) when calling the AllocateHosts operation: The requested configuration is currently not supported. Please check the documentation for supported configurations.

  • Try a different availability zone in your region, or even a different region. Sometimes new resources have very limited availability, particularly smaller regions.

    I manged to resolve this issue by contacting AWS Support where they identified due to confidential reason my AWS account was not whitelisted for this feature.

You missed the "Instance auto-placement" flag.
