CreateCase
Creates a case in the AWS Support Center. This operation is similar to how you create a case

Case
The AWS Support API doesn't support requesting service limit increases. You can submit a service limit increase in the following ways:
-
Submit a request from the AWS Support Center Create Case
page. -
Use the Service Quotas RequestServiceQuotaIncrease operation.
A successful CreateCase
request returns an AWS Support case number. You can use
the DescribeCases operation and specify the case number to get
existing AWS Support cases. After you create a case, use the AddCommunicationToCase operation to add additional communication or
attachments to an existing case.
The caseId
is separate from the displayId
that appears in
the AWS Support CenterdisplayId
.

You must have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan to use the AWS Support API.
-
If you call the AWS Support API from an account that doesn't have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan, the
SubscriptionRequiredException
error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see AWS Support.
