Cloud Providers Service Limits

When working with cloud service providers, you may notice that at some point there are service / quota limitations.

Some limits are per account / subscription; some of them are per region and some limits are per pricing tier (free tier vs billable).

Here are some of the most common reasons for service / quota limitations:

  • Performance issues on the cloud provider’s side – loading a lot of virtual machines on the same data center requires a lot of resources from the cloud provider
  • Avoiding spikes in usage – protect from a situation where one customer consumes a lot of resources that might affect other customers and might eventually cause denial of service

For more information about default cloud service limits, see:

Default limitations can be changed by contacting the cloud service provider's support and requesting a change to the default limitation.

For instructions on how to change the service limitations, see:
