AWS: DB Instance quota exceeded

Question

During CloudFormation stack-creation I get a CREATE_FAILED error for Aurora with reason DB Instance quota exceeded.

I assume it means there are too many DB instances running (I'm on a company account with a federated login, and not the only one creating stacks and launching instances).

How do I fix it? Do need to delete some running instances? Also, how do I find out what the allowed quota is?

Answer 1

Limits in Amazon RDS shows a limit of 40 Amazon RDS DB Instances per Region.

You can contact AWS Customer Service to request a limit increase. Here's the Support screen:
