This topic describes how to view and increase the quotas for Elastic Compute Service
(ECS) resources such as images, disks, and security groups.
Step 1: View resource quotas
- Log on to the ECS console.
- In the upper-right corner of the Overview page, click Privileges.
- On the Privileges & Quotas page, click the Resource Quota tab.
- Select a region and view the quotas.
The quotas for resources such as images, disks, and security groups within the selected
region are displayed.
Note Your resource quotas may change based on the usage of your ECS resources.

Step 2: Increase resource quotas
- Find the quota that you want to increase and click Increase Quota in the Actions column.
Note If you cannot click Increase Quota, this may be because the quota cannot be increased
or because an increase request is in progress. You cannot apply to increase a quota
while a previous increase request is in progress.
- In the Calculate Quotas and Request dialog box, specify the required parameters and
click Submit.

The following table describes the parameters that you must specify.
