Is your cluster’s network properly sized to support the number of event broker services you would like to create?

Yes

The number of event broker services that can be created in a cluster is limited by the available IP addresses in the VPC/VNET.

Consider the size of your cluster’s network carefully, as it is not possible to change its size after creation.
