According to the [blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-t4g-instances-burstable-performance-powered-by-aws-graviton2/) since september/2020 and up to december/2020 instance type t4g will be available. I'm trying to create a machine, on one of the right zones (Oregon) according the FAQ, and using the right AMI, also according to the [FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#t4g-instances)

So why I cannot choose those machines?

As you can see on the screenshot, t3a are eligible, but all t4g not:
