Amazon EVS service quotas
Amazon EVS has integrated with Service Quotas, an AWS service that you can use to view and manage your quotas from a central location. For more information, see What Is Service Quotas? in the Service Quotas User Guide.
With Service Quotas integration, you can use the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI to look up the value of your Amazon EVS quotas and request a quota increase for adjustable quotas. For more information, see Requesting a quota increase in the Service Quotas User Guide and request-service-quota-increase in the AWS CLI Command Reference.
For more information about Amazon EVS service quotas, see Amazon EVS quotas in the AWS General Reference Guide.
Important
To enable Amazon EVS environment creation, your host count per EVS environment quota must be at least 4.
The default quota is 0.
To increase this quota, go to the Service Quotas console
Important
Ensure that your EC2 Running On-Demand Standard Instance quota reflects the number of vCPUs that you need for all of the EC2 instances that you will use on Amazon EVS. Each i4i.metal instance uses 128 vCPUs. For information about increasing EC2 service quotas, see Request an increase in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Note
If you plan to use EC2 Dedicated Hosts for your Amazon EVS environment, ensure that your EC2 Dedicated i4i Hosts quota reflects the number of Dedicated Hosts that you intend to use for a desired Region. For information about increasing EC2 service quotas, see Request an increase in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Note
Amazon CloudWatch collects AWS usage metrics for Amazon EVS resources that have quotas (environment and hosts). For more information, see CloudWatch Usage Metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
