Increase in number of vCPUs limit

Question

I have matlab contrainer, which i want to run in Serverless AWS ECS Fargate enviornment, i intended to use atleast 16GB of RAM and 6-8cpu.
I want to try that configuration in the Fargate enviornment and see how the container behaves.

But when i specify higher configurtaion in the task definition, i get
"You have reached the limit on the number of vCPUs you can run concurrently, for information see ECS developer Guide."

Could you please help me increase the limits.

Here's a related resource previously shared on re:Post that addresses your concern: [ECS CPU Allocation](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ecs-cpu-allocation). Additionally, you can find [the recommended CPU and memory configurations by reviewing the valid CPU and memory combinations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task-cpu-memory-error.html) as outlined in the AWS documentation.

Answer

If you are unable to start due to ECS service quota limitations, you can extend the vCPUs in your AWS account by applying through Service Quota.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-quotas.html

The procedure for applying for service quota can be found in the following document.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-quotas.html#service-quotas-manage

If the task load is large and exceeds the vCPU set in the task definition, consider increasing the vCPU in the task definition.
