Cluster terminated in Databricks Community Edition

I've tried to start a single cluster 4 times on Databricks Community Edition today (13 March 2022). It's failed every time. Here's the first part of the output summary.

Hi @Noel Jameson​ 

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,
