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](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/clusters/operation/get-cluster-availability) 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`.

```console
$ 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.
