What does "per account per region" mean in AWS - amazon-web-services

I have seen the term, "per account per region" at many places in AWS documentation e.g. at https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/faqs/
No. AWS Lambda is designed to run many instances of your functions in parallel. However, AWS Lambda has a default safety throttle for the number of concurrent executions per account per region (visit here for info on default safety throttle limits). You can also control the maximum concurrent executions for individual AWS Lambda functions, which you can use to reserve a subset of your account concurrency limit for critical functions, or cap traffic rates to downstream resources.
What does it mean?
My understanding is that it is the sum of accounts per region e.g. Let's say your org has three accounts in two regions and two accounts in one region, the total will be 3x2 + 2x1 = 8
Is it the correct understanding?

It effectively means that the limits are enforced in each region separately.
It is also enforced at the Account level, so limits in your account don't impact limits in my account. Same if you control multiple accounts.

What is the true maximum values for AWS quotas?

Does anywhere officially or unofficially document what the true maximums are for all AWS quotas?
I am new to AWS, and am trying to figure out the maximum values for certain quotas.
For example, the default value for S3 Access Points supports a maximum of 1000 per account.
but in the AWS quota console it says it is Adjustable, and the docs suggest I can request a quota increase.
You can create a maximum of 1,000 access points per AWS account per Region. If you need more than 1,000 access points for a single account in a single Region, you can request a service quota increase. For more information about service quotas and requesting an increase, see AWS Service Quotas in the AWS General Reference.
I'd like to know what the true maximums are across the board for IAM and S3 resources, to ease design of features I'm working on, without having to do a request to increase resources I may not actually use, if appropriate resource limits can't be requested.
After discussing with AWS support, some quota changes aren't reflected in this console at this time (e.g dynamoDb quota changes)
Haven't tried it, but possibly using aws-limit-checker may show the real limits

AWS Codepipeline limitations on a single account

We are planning to leverage AWS codepipeline by hosting it on a single AWS account, moving forward pipeline count will get around ~500, Is there any limitation by AWS that only certain number of pipelines needs to be hosted on a single account.
Do we need to have a separate account for hosting all these pipelines or just host these on the AWS account in which the application is running? what are the best practices?
You can see the limits pertaining to CodePipeline at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/limits.html.
It looks like as of now there is a soft limit is 300 pipelines per region per account. If you hit that number, you should be able to request an increase by following the link in that document.
As mentioned in another answer, the default limit for pipelines per account per region is 300. This limit can be raised on request.
While you can run more than 300 pipelines per account, you may also start running into related limits like IAM roles per account, CloudWatch Event rules per account, etc. You can get these limits raised too, but the complexity of dealing with all this can start to add up.
My personal recommendation would be to split things across multiple accounts so that there are about 300 pipelines per account at most. If you have multiple teams or multiple departments, splitting accounts by team/department can be a good idea anyway.

Services limits for accounts in AWS organization

When you create accounts in AWS organization, does each account have their own services limitation?
e.g. Lambda has 1000 concurrency limit for each account. If I created 2 accounts from AWS organization, will I have 1000 concurrent executions / account? (2000 concurrency in total, I know it won't simply sum up to 2000 so this is an oversimplification)
I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I couldn't find any written statement for this.
The service limits are just like any standalone account. No change nor any consolidation in the number of resources provided for a given service.
Only the billing is consolidated for the master account of the AWS Organizations.
You can find this in the following document:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html
If you want to increase the limit there are two possible approaches:
Account Level
Function Level
More details are given here:

Allowed numer of roles per account and it's impact on Lambda functions extensively

AWS has a limit of 1000 roles per account, and when we want to have fine grained access control to AWS resources accessed by the lambda we will end up creating a role per function and in a large scale deployment this might be a problem depending upon the granularity of the lambda function.
I guess this is a well-known issue within AWS Lambda community what is the solution for a fine-grained access control for architecture that favors smaller single-purpose lambda functions
That's just the default account limit. You can request that Amazon raise the limit on your account.

Using different regions in AWS will increase cost?

I have reached the maximum number of instance in US-EAST region, Will it cost more If I put my resource in another region?
You can request to have the limit increased here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html
You can also use the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator costs in different regions:
