Service Quotas
#72 · Level 2 · Scaling and resilience · Monitoring and operationsConcept
Section titled “Concept”Service Quotas is a service for seeing the usage limits (quotas) of AWS services in one place. Every account has some default limits for each service, and most limits are separate for each Region. Some limits can be raised (adjustable), and some cannot. For limits that can be raised, you can send a request right from here. With a CloudWatch alarm you can get a warning in advance when you get close to a limit.
Simple example
Section titled “Simple example”The limits of a mobile package — how many GB of data and how many SMS per month. If you need more, you request a bigger package.
Why it’s needed
Section titled “Why it’s needed”If you suddenly hit a limit, new servers will not start. Knowing in advance helps you avoid the problem.
Where it’s used
