Actually I am getting below error while trying to launch 2nd EC2 instance. I am using AWS free tier. From some blogs I come to know we can launch 20 instance without requesting for limit increase. but I am not able to launch 2nd instance itself. Please let me know if I am missing any other factor which should be considered. I am using Ohio region.
Your quota allows for 0 more running instance(s). You requested at
least 1
Can anyone suggest on this?
The count 20 depends on the instance type. For example if your instance type is p2.xlarge instance then you can run only one EC2 instance.
Please find the list of instance type and limit here.
If your instance type is eligible for 20 and you cannot spin up 20 instances, then You can request for a limit increase.

I got the mail from Amazon regarding my EC2 as follows:
EC2 has detected degradation of the underlying hardware hosting your Amazon EC2 instance (instance-ID: xxxxxxxx) associated with your AWS account (AWS Account ID: xxxxxx) in the ap-south-1 region. Due to this degradation your instance could already be unreachable. We will stop your instance after 2020-12-29 22:00:00 UTC. Please take appropriate action before this time.
The affected instances are listed below:
xxxxxxx
So what would I do now to keep my data safe ?
AWS provides guides on what to do when an instance is about to be retired:
What do I need to know when my Amazon EC2 instance is scheduled for retirement?
The easiest way would be to stop/start the instance:
You are required to stop and then start the instance at your preferred time before the instance retirement date. Stopping and starting the instance moves the instance to another healthy host.
However, exact details depend on your instance type (e.g. EBS based or instance store based), thus please read the guide in the link provided to understand your options which are mostly determined on your actual EC2 instance setup.
We have created AWS EC2 instance on Asia it Pacific(Mumbai) Zone on Shared Hardware rental type.We are trying to start an instance after shut it down we are getting popup ec2 error starting instances insufficient capacity message on screen.On white papers it is mention like this,Try to launch new ec2 instance but as we have in basic plan it is now allowing to create new instance on another zone.
How to resolve this issue.
According to the documentation, getting an InsufficientInstanceCapacity error when launching or restarting an instance means that Amazon does not have enough capacity to serve your request. There are a few options:
Waiting for a while and trying again
Launching an instance without specifying an availability zone
Changing the instance type
You can read more here.
Below are a few options available
Wait for that instance type to become available.
Launch a different instance type.
Launch an instance in a different availability zone and migrate back at a later time, if necessary. This provides a temporary solution until you can replace it at a later time with one in the desired availability zone. However, you will be charged cross-zone data transfer costs.
Launch an instance in the -Any- availability zone
Purchase a reserved instance (for that instance type) in the desired availability zone. This will also prevent you from receiving this error in the future.
This is usually caused by
AWS not having enough available On-Demand capacity to complete your request.
For troubleshooting steps, see [1].
If the preceding troubleshooting steps don't resolve the problem, then you can move the instance to another VPC or to another subnet and Availability Zone[2].
Tip :
To avoid insufficient capacity errors on critical machines, consider using
On-Demand Capacity Reservations[3].
To use an On-Demand Capacity Reservation, do the following :
1. Create the Capacity Reservation[4] in an Availability Zone.
2. Launch critical instances into your Capacity Reservation[5].

If you are new to AWS, there's usually a limit for how many instances can you launch or start even if you are currently running none. Try to request for a limit increase for the instance you want to launch in the support center and the insufficient capacity error will disappear
I am getting this error Master Instance Group: Exceeded EC2 Instance Quota, when I create a new cluster on Amazon EMR with 1 Master node only or 1 Master and 2 Core nodes. However, there are no EC2 instances running on my account.
What should I do? I raised a ticket, asking if I can get a quicker solution here.
In your case I think you are trying to access a new region or new instance type, AWS sometimes does that when you are in free tier, they allow access to 2-3 regions or free instance types only. Then you have to request access from AWS by raising a case.
But in Normal scenario, this is what happens:
You may face an error like Exceeded EC2 Instance Quota while you are trying to spin up new instances either standalone or in cluster.
This error is caused because you have hit the limit on number of instances allowed in your AWS account.
This limit is region and instance size specific. To get rid of this error you will have to request Amazon to increase the EC2 instance limit.
Requesting a limit increase is simple. Below are the steps:
Most service limit increases can be requested through the AWS Support Center by choosing Create Case and then choosing Service Limit Increase.
Most service limits are specific to a particular AWS Region, so be sure to submit a request for each Region you plan to use. Many services support requesting multiple limit increases for the same service through one support case. After creating your first request, choose Add another request and then choose a new limit type or Region.
So my elasticbeanstalk has been successfully deployed. However autoscaling seems to be an issue
ASG configo
Desired = 2
Min = 2
Max 4
I have enough instance for the instance type i am using.
When i test my app, just to simulate load, the instances increases to 3, but fails when it tries to bring up another(4th) instance with below errors

Im i missing something somewhere ?
Links will be quite helpfull is some one has seen this before
Looking at the error :
Status Reason: Your quota allows for 0 more running instance(s). You requested at least 1.
From the error message it shows you have hit the limit of EC2 instances. Please check how many instances you are running.
The specifics on the limits can be found in the FAQ here
You can request limit increase as explained here
Thanks
In amazon aws how many m1.small spot request can i create in one region by default
when i see in Instances limit it shows me some thing like
Spot Instance requests default Request limit increase
but currently i am running 36 m1.small
and it gives me an error while creating new spot request
MaxSpotInstanceCountExceeded
so my question is how many spot request can i make of one particular type (eg.m1.small or m1.large)
or how does amazon aws calculate MaxSpotInstanceCountExceeded
MaxSpotInstanceCount is the hard limit of on number of spot instances that you can launch irrespective of their type. the default is 5. However, in your case it seems to be 36.
You can request AWS to increase the limit by filling out this form: https://aws.amazon.com/support/createCase?type=service_limit_increase&serviceLimitIncreaseType=ec2-instances
