when i check in my service quota ec2 limit for Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances is by default is showing 5.
in ec2 docs on-demand instance vcpu limit showing as => You can launch any combination of instance types that meet your changing application needs, as long as the number of vCPUs does not exceed your account quota. For example, with a Standard instance quota of 256 vCPUs, you could launch 32 m5.2xlarge instances (32 x 8 vCPUs) or 16 c5.4xlarge instances (16 x 16 vCPUs).
in ec2 faq it shows as below.
How many On-Demand Instances can I run in Amazon EC2?
There are five vCPU-based instance limits; each defines the amount of capacity you can use of a given instance family. All usage of instances in a given family, regardless of generation, size, or configuration variant (e.g. disk, processor type), will accrue towards the family’s total vCPU limit, listed in the table below. New AWS accounts may start with limits that are lower than the limits described here.
On-Demand Instance Limit Name Default vCPU Limit
Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances 1152 vCPUs
Running On-Demand F instances 128 vCPUs
Running On-Demand G instances 128 vCPUs
Running On-Demand Inf instances 128 vCPUs
Running On-Demand P instances 128 vCPUs
Running On-Demand X instances 128 vCPUs
so my question is which one is right can someone please also tell me what is vcpu limit actually means and if it support 1152vpu then i can launch more than 20 instance (t3.small). which is another limitation.
