Quotas and Constraints
You can create dedicated and shared load balancers on ELB console. This section describes the quotas and restrictions that apply to ELB resources.
ELB Resource Quotas
Quotas put limits on the number or amount of resources, such as the maximum number of ECSs or EVS disks that you can create.
Table 1 lists the default resource quotas. Each user may have different resource quotas.

Load Balancer
- The maximum size of data that a load balancer can forward:
- Layer 4 listeners: any
- Layer 7 listeners:
- 10 GB (file size)
- 32 KB (the total size of the HTTP request line and HTTP request header)
Listener
- The listener of a dedicated load balancer can be associated with a maximum of 50 backend server groups.
- An HTTPS listener can have up to 30 SNI certificates.
- Once set, the frontend protocol and port of the listener cannot be modified.
Forwarding Policy
- Forwarding policies can be configured only for HTTP and HTTPS listeners.
- Forwarding policies must be unique.
- A maximum of 100 forwarding policies can be configured for a listener. If the number of forwarding policies exceeds the quota, the excess forwarding policies will not be applied.
- Forwarding conditions:
- If the advanced forwarding policy is not enabled, each forwarding rule has only one forwarding condition.
- If the advanced forwarding policy is enabled, each forwarding rule has up to 10 forwarding conditions.
