For posterity, can you also include what region you're using?

Related to this, that list is wrong anyhow. You can ask for but won't get e.g. a t2.medium

Possibly related to changes in t2 types - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/t2-instances.html#t2-instances-vpc-support

From Uros:

Controllers are CPU bounded, more cores you throw at them, more users they can handle, linear scalability. I'd really like us to have support for big cpus, both on aws and on gce.

[Andrew Wilkins (axwalk)]

I've updated our instance types, and D2 is in there now for 2.0. I need to make a fixes related to T2 and other instance types, so that they're only made available if you're in a VPC account.
