DRHCREL01-BP01 Set service quotas to accommodate for the peak usage of AWS resources on Outposts for their homed Regions

AWS Outposts and Local Zones adhere to the service quotas of their parent AWS Regions, requiring management of service quotas to accommodate peak usage.

Desired outcome: Proactively adjust service quotas to meet your capacity requirements in specific Regions, which helps you maintain data residency in those Regions.

Benefits of establishing this best practice: Proper service quota management and planning validates availability of AWS resources on Outposts and Local Zones, reducing the risk of service disruptions due to resource limitations.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High

Implementation guidance

AWS Outposts and AWS Local Zones are homed to specific AWS Regions. Regional service quotas apply to AWS resources (for example, Amazon EC2 instances) running on Outposts or Local Zones and should be managed. The best practices to manage service quotas and constraints apply to the Regions that the chosen Outposts or Local Zones are homed to. Apply service quotas best practices to Outpost and Local Zones.
