RDS for SQL Server Quotas

What Is a Quota?

A quota is a limit on the quantity or capacity of a certain type of service resources available to you. Examples of RDS quotas include the maximum number of DB instances that you can create. Quotas are put in place to prevent excessive resource usage.

If a quota cannot meet your needs, apply for a higher quota.

Viewing Quotas

  2. On the Quotas page, view the used and total quotas of each type of resources.

Increasing Quotas

  2. Click Increase Quota and apply for quotas as prompted.
