Scaling Azure Postgres: Specified Availability Zone not supported in this region - postgresql

I try to scale (provide more Cores) to my Azure Postgres DB (Flexible Server). No matter which size I choose, I always get the same error: "Specified Availability Zone not supported in this region."
The DB is deployed to Sweden Central. According to this, Sweden Central supports availability zones. The VM Sizes I tried are also available in that region.
Does anyone has any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

error: "Specified Availability Zone not supported in this region."
We also tried in our Environment with Region: Sweden Central we also got same error but when we tried with Region: East US the database is scaled from 2 cores to 8 cores successfully.
You can raise support ticket to Microsoft from here for more asistance on this.

About the Workload type option of PostgreSQL Flexible server

I use Azure Database for PostgreSQL to build a DB environment.
I would like to ask the following questions regarding the Workload type selection items.
When selecting Production (Large-size), there was a description of availability, but when selecting Production (Small / Medium-size), there was no description of availability.
In fact, both have availability options, but why isn't availability mentioned in the Production (Small / Medium-size) description?
What is the specific difference between Production (Large-size) and Production (Small / Medium-size)?
I am looking forward to your answer. thank you.

Achieving High Availability for Redshift?

It is my understanding that Redshift is built for performance but not for Availability.
The documentation https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/faqs/
suggest that once any node is down, the whole cluster is down until the node is restored. In the case of the AZ failure, you have no luck at all.
This post suggests having a double cluster
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/building-multi-az-or-multi-region-amazon-redshift-clusters/
however, it is not clear to me how do you replicate Looker's PDT tables to support instant failover via Route 53 to the standby cluster?
Just curious about what people do to address the HA issue on Redshift?
from the Q&A regarding high availability in case an AZ disruption scenario:
"If your Amazon Redshift data warehouse cluster's Availability Zone becomes unavailable, Amazon Redshift will automatically move your cluster to another AWS Availability Zone (AZ) without any data loss or application changes. To activate this, you must enable the relocation capability in your cluster configuration settings." https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/faqs/?nc1=h_ls
Redshift now supports multi-AZ deployments: https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/reliability

Is there a way to increase the total number of service instances on Bluemix?

According to Bluemix dashboard, total number of service instances I permitted to use is 4, but my colleagues' are 10. What cause this difference?
Is there a way to increase the total number of service instances on Bluemix?
Number of service instances depends on your org quota.
Type cf quotas in terminal to find out quotas available.
cf org your-org-name would show your current quota.
It sounds like your are on Trial, Check with your colleague on how he got more quota than yours.
If you think that you are assigned incorrect quota , please contact Bluemix project office team to investigate the discrepancy : http://ibm.biz/bluemixsupport --> Select ID+Login

Does Heroku standalone PostgreSQL available on Asia(Tokyo/Singapore) region?

I am building a service, and considering using of Heroku standalone PostgreSQL. Anyway I need to deploy the service to the Asian area (Tokyo/Singapore replicated), and I saw PostgreSQL is available only on US/EU region for Heroku dynos.
I want to know whether the standalone PostgreSQL is also available only on those regions or also available on Tokyo/Singapore regions.
No, Heroku Postgres (in fact any of Heroku) is only available in US and EU regions presently.
