Amazon EC2 endpoints and quotas - AWS General Reference

Amazon EC2 endpoints and quotas

Important

AWS Regions launched after October 30, 2021 will no longer support Amazon EC2 API requests over connections that are established using TLSv1, TLSv1.1, or unencrypted HTTP.

The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service. To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. In addition to the standard AWS endpoints, some AWS services offer FIPS endpoints in selected Regions. For more information, see AWS service endpoints. 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.
