New AWS India account - EC2 vCPU quota too low to launch even t3.micro - how to increase?

I understand your frustration with the vCPU quota limitation on your new AWS account. Let me address your questions:

Regarding quota increases:

To request a vCPU quota increase, you can use one of these methods:

1. AWS Management Console: Sign in and open the Service Quotas console, navigate to AWS services, select Amazon EC2, find the specific vCPU quota you need to increase, and submit your request with the desired new value.

2. AWS CLI: Use the request-service-quota-increase command with the appropriate service code and quota code.

3. Support Case: If the service isn't available in Service Quotas, you can create a support case through the AWS Support Center Console.

Important points about quota increase requests:

• Smaller increases are often automatically approved, while larger requests are submitted to AWS Support for review
• Quota increase requests don't receive priority support
• AWS may approve, deny, or partially approve your request based on various criteria including impact on services and potential for abuse
• It typically takes a couple of days for quota increases to take effect - they are not granted immediately
• You can check the status of your pending request in the Service Quotas console

Regarding your specific situation:

New AWS accounts may have lower default quotas, especially if the account is new or has limited usage history. Account quotas can be less than standard default values for newer accounts. As your account establishes a usage pattern, these limits may adjust.

For the most current information about which instance types might work with your current quota and alternative options, I'd recommend checking the EC2 documentation or contacting AWS Support directly, as they can provide account-specific guidance.
