AWS quota monitoring

Amazon Web Services maintains service quotas on each AWS account to guarantee the availability of AWS resources and to minimize billing risks for the customers.

When you launch a new workload or need additional resources within the existing workloads, you may receive an error message saying the requested resources cannot be allocated due to the limits. For example, Elastic IP address limit.

The DoiT Platform supports Service Limit and Quota Monitoring to help you track resource usage and get notified whenever you approach a quota limit.

Note

You must have AWS Business or Enterprise Support to use AWS quota monitoring.

To monitor your quotas in the DoiT console, you need to link Quota Monitoring to your AWS account and update the associated AWS IAM role. See Link your AWS account and the feature permissions of Quota Monitoring for details.

Add the Quotas widget to your dashboard​

You can customize dashboards to add the Amazon Web Services Quotas widget.

To request a quota increase from the Quotas widget, select Modify and go through the AWS instructions of Requesting a quota increase.

Get notifications​

To get notified of service quotas utilization, you can subscribe to:

  • Notification emails: Choose the Quota Utilization notification type.

  • Alerts in Slack channel: Choose Google Cloud and AWS Quotas Utilizations Alerts for your shared Slack channel with DoiT.

Once subscribed, we check your usage every 4 hours, and every time one of your Google Cloud or AWS service quotas utilization is over 80% or 50%, respectively, we'll send you a notification.
