Buying process: Steps to increase RI purchase quota for each linked account

Last updated 4 days ago

Why do I need to do this?

AWS has placed a cap on the number of RI purchases per month. When you create your AWS instances, AWS sets default quotas (limits) on these resources on a per-region basis. The default limit for Reserved Instances is set to 20 per month, which is insufficient for OpsNow to fully utilize AutoRI's transaction algorithm.

What do I need to do?

Submit a request to AWS to increase the RI purchase quota for each region you have AutoRI eligible EC2 instances.

This information is found on the “Coverage” page of OpsNow AutoSavings menu: (OpsNow platform > Left Panel > AutoSavings > Coverage)

Please follow the steps below to increase your quota for RI:

  1. Login to the AWS console of your linked account (Only direct admin access to the each AWS linked account can request for quota increase)

  2. Search for “Quota increase request” at the top of the console

  1. On the following page, search for “EC2”, and choose “Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud”

  1. On the next page, search for “Reserved”, and choose “New Reserved Instances per month”

  1. On the pop-up, click on “Request quota increase” button

  1. On the next pop-up, enter a number (Recommendation: 1,000) for “Change quota value”

  1. Press “Request” and upon successful submission, a message will appear at the top of the console

  1. The status for the request is found at “Recent quota increase requests” section. Expect 1-3 business days for your request to be approved by AWS

  1. Now the quota increase request for one region is complete. Quota increase requests have to be done in each region that you have AutoRI eligible EC2 instances. Please choose a different region from the pull-down at the top right side of the AWS console, and repeat the process from the step #5
