Unable to Create WorkSpaces Applications Instance – Fleet Quota Exceeded

0

Hello, I am trying to create a WorkSpaces Applications instance, but regardless of whether I select small, medium, or large, I receive an error stating that my fleet quota has been exceeded, even though it is currently 0.

I do not understand how to increase this quota in Service Quotas or how to proceed with creating the instance. The support team has not provided a clear answer, and the Amazon documentation does not offer a solution.

Can someone provide the correct steps to resolve this issue and successfully create the instance?

The error you're encountering indicates that you've reached the quota limit for WorkSpaces Applications fleet capacity in your AWS account. This is happening because your current quota is set to 0 for the instance type and size you're trying to use.

WorkSpaces Applications instance type and size quotas are per AWS account per AWS Region. If you have multiple fleets in the same Region using the same instance type and size, the total number of instances across all fleets must be less than or equal to your quota.

To resolve this issue, you need to request a quota increase through the Service Quotas console. Here's how:

  1. Go to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Service Quotas section.
  2. Search for and select "Amazon WorkSpaces Applications" (or AppStream 2.0, depending on the specific service you're using).
  3. Look for the quota related to the specific instance type and size you're trying to use (e.g., stream.standard.small, stream.standard.medium, etc.).
  4. Select the relevant quota and click on "Request quota increase."
  5. Fill out the required information, explaining your need for increased capacity, and submit the request.

AWS will review your request and typically respond within a few business days. Until the quota increase is approved, you won't be able to create new fleet instances.

Remember that quota increases are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, so be sure to provide a clear justification for your request to improve the chances of approval.
