# AWS AppConfig endpoints and quotas
<a name="appconfig"></a>

To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. AWS services offer the following endpoint types in some or all of the AWS Regions that the service supports: IPv4 endpoints, dual-stack endpoints, and FIPS endpoints. Some services provide global endpoints. For more information, see [AWS service endpoints](rande.md).

Service quotas, also referred to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your AWS account. For more information, see [AWS service quotas](aws_service_limits.md).

The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service.

AWS AppConfig is a capability of AWS Systems Manager. To view endpoints and quotas of other Systems Manager capabilities, see [AWS Systems Manager endpoints and quotas](ssm.md).

## Service endpoints
<a name="appconfig_region"></a>

The following sections describe the service endpoints for AWS AppConfig. AWS AppConfig uses *control plane* APIs for setting up and configuring AWS AppConfig applications, environments, configuration profiles, and deployment strategies. AWS AppConfig uses the AWS AppConfig Data service to call *data plane* APIs for retrieving stored configurations.

### Control plane endpoints
<a name="appconfig_control_plane"></a>

The following table contains AWS Region-specific endpoints that AWS AppConfig supports for control plane operations. Control plane operations are used for creating, updating, and managing configuration data. For more information, see [AWS AppConfig operations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/API_Operations_Amazon_AppConfig.html) in the *AWS AppConfig API Reference*.

### Data plane endpoints
<a name="appconfigdata_data_plane"></a>

The following table contains AWS Region-specific endpoints that AWS AppConfig Data supports for data plane operations. Data plane operations are used for retrieving configuration data. For more information, see [AWS AppConfig Data operations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/API_Operations_AWS_AppConfig_Data.html) in the *AWS AppConfig API Reference*.

| Action | API limit | Adjustable | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
|  GetConfiguration ([deprecated](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/latest/userguide/about-data-plane.html))  |  500 TPS  |  No  | 
|  GetLatestConfiguration  |  1,000 TPS  |  Yes  | 
|  StartConfigurationSession  |  500 TPS  |  Yes  | 
|  Configurations received  |  1 million (burst) per day if not using the AWS AppConfig agent  |  Yes  | 

To request an increase for `GetLatestConfiguration`, `StartConfigurationSession`, or `Configurations received` contact Support. To improve performance, availability, and reduce costs, we recommended you cache configurations locally when using AWS AppConfig. [AWS AppConfig Agent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/latest/userguide/appconfig-agent-how-to-use.html) caches configurations on your behalf.
