EC2 Quota limit increase incorrectly references quota name

0

I need the quota increase on "Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances". But when I try to submit a quota increase request it keeps submitting quota increase request for "All Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances [US East (Northern Virginia)]" instead. How do I force the console to submit request to increase quota for "Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances"?

It appears you're encountering an issue with the naming convention in the AWS Service Quotas console. The discrepancy between the quota name you're looking for and the one being submitted is likely due to recent changes in how AWS presents these quotas.

The quota "All Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances" is actually referring to the same limit as "Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances". AWS has been moving towards vCPU-based On-Demand Instance limits, which may explain the change in naming.

To ensure you're requesting an increase for the correct quota:

  1. Go to the AWS Service Quotas console.
  2. Navigate to the Amazon EC2 section.
  3. Use the search or filter function to find the quota for standard instances.
  4. Select the quota that matches your region (e.g., [US East (Northern Virginia)]).
  5. Request an increase for this quota.

Even though the name might be slightly different from what you expected, rest assured that this is the correct quota for increasing your limit on running On-Demand standard instances.

If you're still concerned about the naming discrepancy, you can add a note in your request explaining that you're specifically looking to increase the limit for running On-Demand standard instances. This will help ensure that your request is processed correctly.

Remember, these quota increases are not automatically approved and may take some time to process. Be sure to provide a clear justification for your request to help expedite the review process.

  • This is not correct. There are two separate quota names and limits - "All Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances", quota definitely is showing different limits than the "Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances".

Hello.

I can find a quota called "Running On-Demand Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances", but I can't find a quota called "All Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances".
Which screen did you find "All Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) instances" from?
Are you mistaking this for "All Standard (A, C, D, H, I, M, R, T, Z) Spot Instance Requests"?

By the way, if you apply for a quota increase using the URL below, your on-demand instance quota should be increased.
