How to Check Cluster Availability by Region

Checking cluster availability returns the available cluster types and plans for a specific region. This is useful for determining which regions support vps, bare-metal, or gpu-fabric clusters before creating one.

This guide explains how to check cluster availability by region using the Vultr API.

Send a GET request to the Get Cluster Availability endpoint to check available cluster types. Replace REGION with the region identifier (e.g., ewr, ord, lax). Set type to filter by cluster type. Available types are vps, bare-metal, and gpu-fabric.

$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/clusters/availability" \
    -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "region": "REGION",
        "type": "vps"
    }'

The response contains the available cluster types and plans for the specified region.
