Amazon EC2 Service Limits

Resource Variety and Quotas

Amazon EC2 offers a wide range of resources, including:

• Instances
• Volumes
• Snapshots

When creating an AWS account, default quotas are established. Refer to the AWS Documentation and Amazon EC2 User Guide for more detailed information on volume limits.

Service Limit Changes

Amazon EC2 is transitioning from instance count-based limits to vCPU-based limits for On-Demand Instances. This change simplifies limit management for AWS users. General purpose instances offer a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources, making them suitable for various workloads.
