EC2 instance Launching and Changing Configuration

0

Hi, We are new startup. We need an EC2 instance as g5.4xlarge instance type with 512GB SSD. Because of the limitations of vCPU I couldn't launch instance . I decided to create the instance within the limitations. There was also a warning about storage limit on the EC2 configuration page. So I had to configurate the SSD capacity as 30 GB. I created instance as t2.micro instance type. By the way I had created a request to increase the limit of All G and VT Spot Instance. I recieved an e-mail about it. Our limit was determined as 8. When I tried to change instance type g5.4xlarge, I got the error : "You have requested more vCPU capacity than your current vCPU limit of 0 allows for the instance bucket that the specified instance type belongs to." . So I tried to change instance type g5.2xlarge and succeded. Now I want to request increasing limit of vCPU but When I try it I get error "Only one open service quota increase request is allowed per quota." And I also want to increase my storage capacity but I can't find any setting in actions of launched instance. Could you please help me to change our instances configuration as we need. Thank you

Hello.

"Only one open service quota increase request is allowed per quota."

It's probably because the service quota request hasn't been completed yet.
Please wait a little longer and try sending your request.

Only one open service quota increase request is allowed per quota. If you submit another request before the previous one completes, then you receive the ResourceAlreadyExistsException error.

You can change the EBS volume size by following the steps in the document below.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/requesting-ebs-volume-modifications.html

After changing the EBS volume size, connect to EC2 using SSH etc. and expand the file system.

You need to go to Support Center, Your support cases to close the Limit Increase support case as Resolved, before requesting another service quota increase

g5.2xlarge has 8 vCPUs. After support case is closed as resolved, request a new limit of 16 vCPUs for g5.4xlarge.

Are you launching a on-demand or spot EC2 instances? They have separate quota limits. (assuming US-EAST-1 Region)

Regarding EBS size, you can refer to article How do I increase or decrease the size of my EBS volume?
