This topic provides answers to some frequently asked questions (FAQ) about API groups.
API group issues
How many API groups can I create?
The following are the limits on the number of API groups you can create.
You can create up to 200 API groups per region per Alibaba Cloud account, regardless of whether an independent domain name is bound to the API group.
By default, each Alibaba Cloud account can create up to 5 API groups to which an independent domain name is not bound in each region. This limit increases to 20 if the account has API groups to which an independent domain name is bound in the region.
You can submit a ticket to request an increase in the limits.
How do I select a region to create an API group?
Select the same region as the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) or Docker resources used by your backend service.
How many domain names can I bind to an API group?
You can bind up to 5 virtual private cloud (VPC) domain names and 5 Internet domain names to each API group.
