Quotas for your Network Load Balancers - Elastic Load Balancing

Quotas for your Network Load Balancers

Your AWS account has default quotas, formerly referred to as limits, for each AWS service. Unless otherwise noted, each quota is Region-specific. You can request increases for some quotas, and other quotas cannot be increased.

To view the quotas for your Network Load Balancers, open the Service Quotas console. In the navigation pane, choose AWS services and select Elastic Load Balancing. You can also use the describe-account-limits (AWS CLI) command for Elastic Load Balancing.

To request a quota increase, see Requesting a quota increase in the Service Quotas User Guide.

¹ Each Network Load Balancer uses one network interface per zone. The quota is set at the VPC level. When sharing subnets or VPCs, the usage is calculated across all tenants.

³ If cross-zone load balancing is enabled, the maximum is 500 targets per load balancer, regardless of the number of Availability Zones.
