Amazon OpenSearch Service now allows users to view default quota and applied quota information through Service Quotas. Quotas, also referred to as limits in AWS services, are the maximum values for the resources, actions, and items in your AWS account. Each AWS service defines its quotas and establishes default values for those quotas. Depending on your business needs, you might need to increase your service quota values. Service Quotas enables you to look up your service quotas and to request quota increase. AWS Support might approve, deny, or partially approve your requests.

With this new feature, you can use the Service Quotas console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and the AWS SDK to view service quota information for Amazon OpenSearch Service. You can view your existing quotas such as Dedicated master instances per domain, Domains per region, Instances per domain, Instances per domain (T2 instance type), and Warm instances per domain. As of now, we support limit increase requests for two of these quotas-Domains per region and Instances per domain, through the Service Quotas console.

This new feature is available in the following 24 AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Middle East (Bahrain), South America (São Paulo), and AWS GovCloud (US). Please refer to the AWS Region Table for more information about Amazon OpenSearch Service availability.

There is no additional cost to view service quotas for OpenSearch Service, and it is automatically enabled for you. For more information, see Amazon OpenSearch Service quotas in the OpenSearch Service documentation. To view your current quotas and request a quota increase, visit the Service Quotas console.
