Cause

  • This error can occur if the AWS account was recently created. To prevent any mistakes in deploying instances, Amazon limits the number of instances you can create when you are starting out.
  • Also, if it is a first EC2 instance deployment on a newly created account AWS requires you to create a small instance before a larger C5.2xlarge instance can be deployed.

Resolution

Contact AWS Tech Support to increase the number or type of instances that can be deployed.
