I am trying to host Unreal Engine Pixel Streaming Build to AWS and while doing the setup I am getting stuck at the launch of Instance. I followed this tutorial here.

Please look at the error below:

Any help would be appreciated since I am a beginner in AWS.

There are default limits for various Amazon EC2 instance types. These are based upon the total number of vCPUs simultaneously running. You can access this information by selecting Limits in the sidebar of the EC2 management console.

EC2 instance limits

You can click the Request limit increase button to submit a request for the limit to be increased.

These limits are sometimes to prevent fraud (eg people consuming lots of resources and then not paying their bill), and sometimes to protect people from accidentally running the more-expensive instances (eg the X family).

The g4dn.4xlarge shown in that video tutorial costs $1.204/hour (depending upon region used).

Check out this aws doc: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-on-demand-instance-vcpu-increase/ It will let you see your current limit, and if you need to request an increase (or just choose a different instance type/class)

Also double-check you are in the right region. An increase is only for the region you request it in. You can check what your limit is via the Quotas page: https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home?region=us-east-1#!/dashboard

    Thanks. I can see my limit which is 0 but I cant request limit increase so I already contacted my administrator. – Saad Anees Jul 13 '21 at 09:14
  • The limits page was deactivated for me, to view your service quotas or to request an increase, I had to use the AWS Service Quotas console – azizbro Jun 21 '23 at 04:27
