Quotas for your scaling plans - Amazon Auto Scaling
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Quotas for your scaling plans

Your Amazon Web Services account has the default quotas (previously referred to as limits) related to scaling plans. Unless otherwise noted, each quota is Region-specific. You can request increases for some quotas, and other quotas cannot be increased.

To view the quotas for Application Auto Scaling, open the Service Quotas console. In the navigation pane, choose Amazon Web Services services and select Amazon Auto Scaling Plans.

To request a quota increase, see Requesting a quota increase in the Service Quotas User Guide.

Your Amazon Web Services account has the following quotas related to scaling plans.

Name Default Adjustable
Scalable resources per resource type

Amazon DynamoDB: 3,000 | Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups: 200 | All other resource types: 500

Keep service quotas in mind as you scale out your workloads. For example, when you reach the maximum number of capacity units allowed by a service, scaling out will stop. If demand drops and the current capacity decreases, Amazon Auto Scaling can scale out again. To avoid reaching this service quota limit again, you can request an increase. Each service has its own default quotas for the maximum capacity of the resource. For information about the default quotas for other Amazon Web Services, see Service endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
