Hi @chethanuk-plutoflume thanks for reaching out. In that documentation you linked to it notes:

Not all instance types are available in all Regions, and instance availability is subject to availability and demand in the specified Region and Availability Zone.

Which region are you using? And have you tried testing this in other regions?

It looks like R5b instances were announced December 1, 2020 per https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ec2-r5b-instances-providing-3x-higher-ebs-performance/. At the bottom of that blog post it says:

R5b instances are available in the following regions: US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Europe (Frankfurt). RDS on r5b is available in US East (Ohio), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Europe (Frankfurt), and support in other regions is coming soon.

R5b instances

Okay so R5b is not avilable in eu-west-1, it's as expected then

you tried testing this in other regions

No haven't tried yet

Since the behavior is expected per the documentation I'm going to close this issue. Please let us know if there's anything further you'd like to discuss regarding this. Thanks!
