Amazon Virtual Private Cloud 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.
Service endpoints
The API actions to manage Amazon VPC resources (for example, virtual private clouds, subnets, and gateways) are part of the Amazon EC2 API. For more information, see Amazon VPC actions in the Amazon EC2 API Reference.
For the service endpoints for Amazon EC2, see Amazon EC2 endpoints and quotas.

| Internet gateways per Region | Each supported Region: 5 |
Yes |
The maximum number of internet gateways per Region. This quota is directly tied to the maximum number of VPCs per Region. To increase this quota, increase the number of VPCs per Region. |
| NAT gateways per Availability Zone | Each supported Region: 5 |

| Network interfaces per Region | Each supported Region: 5,000 |
Yes |
The maximum number of network interfaces per Region. |
| Outstanding VPC peering connection requests | Each supported Region: 25 |
Yes |
The maximum number of outstanding VPC peering connection requests that youve requested. |
| Participant accounts per VPC | Each supported Region: 100 |

Yes |
The maximum number of route tables per VPC. The main route table counts toward this quota. |
| Routes per route table | Each supported Region: 50 |
Yes |
The maximum number of non-propagated routes per route table. This quota can be increased up to a maximum of 1000; however, network performance might be impacted. This quota is enforced separately for IPv4 and IPv6 routes. |
| Rules per network ACL | Each supported Region: 20 |
Yes |
The maximum number of inbound rules or outbound rules per network ACL (a total of 40 rules). This includes both IPv4 and IPv6 rules, and the default deny rules. This quota can be increased up to a maximum of 40; however, network performance might be impacted. |
| Security groups per network interface | Each supported Region: 5 |
Yes |
