How to Limit Default Internet Access in AWS AppStream

Select Language:

If you’re trying to launch multiple Image Builders or Fleets on Amazon AppStream 2.0 using the default internet access settings, you should be able to do so without any issues, as the default setup supports this. However, sometimes the limits set by AWS may restrict the number of Image Builders or Fleets you can run simultaneously.

To ensure you can scale up your resources, it’s a good idea to request a limit increase from AWS. You’ll need to ask for the review and adjustment of specific limits, especially for:

– The maximum number of Image Builders using default internet access
– The maximum number of Fleets using default internet access

You may not find these limits listed in the Service Quotas section, so when you submit your request, make sure to mention these particular limits. Providing this information helps AWS understand your needs and adjust the limits accordingly.

For more details on these limits, you can check the official AWS documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/limits.html

Remember, raising a limit increase is a straightforward process, and it can make a big difference in scaling your AppStream 2.0 environment effectively.
