The Public Cloud leader AWS is providing 29 Cloud Services in its Cloud platform. In order to secure the misuse of the resources, Amazon Web Services is enforcing some default limits for each and every service per Region.
If you want to increase your service limits for any service in a particular region you need to contact the AWS support team with right use case saying why you want to increase your service limits. To know more about default service limits and how to increase them, please visit the AWS service limits page.
If you have any AWS support plan which includes Trusted Advisor, you can use it to see the limits of your service for each Region. So, you can raise a request in advance with AWS support to increase your service limits.
As of now, your AWS account service limits are available for only Business and Enterprise level Support customers only because AWS Trusted Advisor is available for only Business and Enterprise level support customers. You don’t have any other option to get to know the usage details your services if you have less than Business support or no support at all. But still, you can calculate your resources usage manually by comparing the usage with the default service limits. Whenever you place a request for increasing your service limits, keep track of them in a spreadsheet for better tracking of the usage and limits of your service.
Unfortunately, Business and Enterprise level support customers also don’t have any notification service about their service limits where they will get to notify in advance about their service limits. So that, they can avoid any contingencies. These kinds of notifications will be really helpful when customers run services like Elastic Beanstalk, EC2 Auto scaling, and SES, etc.
Unlike AWS, other public cloud providers like Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure are providing the service limits in their console irrespective of the support model you hold with them.
To address this Service limits and usage information, it would be great if AWS would implement solutions like these:
Hope Amazon AWS will address these issues as soon as possible.
