How do I manage my AWS service quotas?

Resolution

AWS maintains service quotas (formerly called service limits) for each account to help guarantee the availability of AWS resources and prevent accidental provisioning of more resources than needed.

Increase your service quotas

You can use Service Quotas console to view and request increases for most AWS quotas.

Important: Most service quotas are specific to an AWS Region. Select the AWS Region where you require the quota increase in.

For all other quota increase requests, create a case in the AWS Support console, and then choose Service Limit Increase.

Note: You aren't charged if your service quotas are increased. You're charged only if you launch or use AWS resources or services.

Monitor and proactively manage your service quotas

You can see your quota utilization in the Service Quotas console. You can also create Amazon CloudWatch alarms for supported services. For more information, see Service Quotas and Amazon CloudWatch Alarms.
