Cluster terminated.Reason:Unexpected launch failure

Using Community Edition. Cluster starts up and immediately terminates with the following error message.

Why would that be?

Message

Cluster terminated.Reason:Unexpected launch failure

An unexpected error was encountered while setting up the cluster. Please retry and contact Databricks if the problem persists.

Internal error message: com.databricks.backend.manager.instance.InstanceHolder$PlacementLockTimeout: Could not acquire placement lock context = findExistingInstanceById.

Hi @Maciej Soczka

We have some internal service interruptions due to which we had this issue. Our engineering has applied the fix and the cluster startup works as expected.

Sincerely apologies for the inconvenience caused here.

Regards,

Darshan
