Getting this error now. Three times in a row already. Worked well a couple of hours ago. Any ideas?

Got error while creating host: failed to create a vm: instance not ready yet: unassigned
We had an unexpected error preparing a VM for this build, potentially due to our infrastructure or cloud provider.  Please retry the build in a few minutes

Same here. Both this and machine executors fail. All builds trying to build Docker images fail to this :frowning:

From old discussion (around 26.3.) I see references to capacity issues when machine executors hang. Seems like there are same issues again.

Yep, it looks constant now for any build I run.
Very annoying.
For me even damaging :hot_face:

It was a major outage of CircleCI.
