# Amazon EVS service quotas
<a name="service-quotas-evs"></a>

Amazon EVS has integrated with Service Quotas, an AWS service that you can use to view and manage your quotas from a central location. For more information, see [What Is Service Quotas?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/intro.html) in the *Service Quotas User Guide*.

With Service Quotas integration, you can use the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI to look up the value of your Amazon EVS quotas and request a quota increase for adjustable quotas. For more information, see [Requesting a quota increase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/request-quota-increase.html) in the *Service Quotas User Guide* and [request-service-quota-increase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/service-quotas/request-service-quota-increase.html) in the * AWS CLI Command Reference*.

For more information about Amazon EVS service quotas, see [Amazon EVS quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/evs.html#limits_evs) in the * AWS General Reference Guide*.

**Important**  
Ensure that your EC2 Running On-Demand Standard Instance quota reflects the number of vCPUs that you need for all of the EC2 instances that you will use on Amazon EVS. For information about increasing EC2 service quotas, see [Request an increase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-resource-limits.html#request-increase) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*.

**Note**  
If you plan to use EC2 Dedicated Hosts for your Amazon EVS environment, ensure that your EC2 Dedicated Hosts quota reflects the number of Dedicated Hosts that you intend to use for a desired Region. For information about increasing EC2 service quotas, see [Request an increase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-resource-limits.html#request-increase) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*.

**Note**  
If configuring HCX internet connectivity, your IPAM quota for Amazon-provided contiguous public IPv4 CIDR block netmask length must be /28 or greater. For more information, see [Quotas for your IPAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/quotas-ipam.html).

**Note**  
Amazon CloudWatch collects AWS usage metrics for Amazon EVS resources that have quotas (environment and hosts). For more information, see [CloudWatch Usage Metrics](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Usage-Metrics.html) in the *Amazon CloudWatch User Guide*.
