Amazon Elastic Block Store endpoints and quotas
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.
Note
AWS recommends using Regional STS endpoints within your applications and avoid using the global (legacy) STS endpoint. Regional STS endpoints reduce latency, build in redundancy, and increase session token validity. For more information about configuring your applications to use the regional STS endpoint, see AWS STS Regionalized endpoints in the AWS SDKs and Tools Reference Guide. For more information about the global (legacy) AWS STS endpoint, including how to monitor for use of this endpoint, see How to use Regional AWS STS endpoints in the AWS Security blog.

Endpoints for Amazon EBS in Amazon EC2
The API actions to manage EBS volumes, snapshots, and encryption are part of the Amazon EC2 API. For more information, see Amazon EBS actions in the Amazon EC2 API Reference.
For the service endpoints for Amazon EC2, see Amazon EC2 endpoints and quotas.
Endpoints for the EBS direct APIs
Use the EBS direct APIs endpoints to directly read the data on your Amazon EBS snapshots, and identify the difference between two snapshots. For more information, see Use EBS direct APIs to access the contents of an Amazon EBS snapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Service quotas
Your quotas can change over time. Amazon EBS constantly monitors your provisioned storage and IOPS usage within each Region and might automatically increase your quotas, on a per-Region basis, based on your usage.
Even though Amazon EBS automatically increases your quotas based on your usage, you can
request a quota increase if needed. For example, if you intend to use more gp3
storage in US East (N. Virginia) than your current quota allows, you can request a quota
increase for that volume type in that Region. To request a quota increase, use the
AWS Service Quotas console
Considerations
-
The quota for Concurrent snapshot copies per destination Region is not adjustable using Service Quotas. However, you can request an increase for this quota by contacting AWS Support.
-
The IOPS modifications and Storage modifications quotas apply to the aggregated current value (for size or IOPS, depending on the quota) of volumes that can undergo modifications concurrently. You can make concurrent modification requests for volumes that have combined current value (for size or IOPS) up to the quota. For example, if your IOPS modifications for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) volumes quota is
50,000, you can make concurrent IOPS modifications requests for any number ofio1volumes as long as their combined current IOPS is equal to or less than50,000. If you have threeio1volumes provisioned with20,000IOPS each, you can request IOPS modifications for two volumes concurrently (20,000 * 2 < 50,000). If you submit a concurrent IOPS modification request for the third volume, you exceed your quota and that request fails (20,000 * 3 > 50,000). -
Amazon EBS has the following non-adjustable limits for the number of EBS volumes per instance launch request.
-
2500—us-east-1,us-west-2,eu-west-1, andap-northeast-1 -
500— all other Regions
This limit applies to instance launch requests that you make, and to instance launch requests made by AWS services, such as Amazon EMR, on your behalf. If your instance launch request fails as a result of exceeding this limit, we recommend that you adjust the EBS volume configuration in the launch request to ensure the number of volumes is below the limit, or that you work with your technical account manager (TAM) to explore other options for launching your cluster without exceeding the limit.
