What is the difference between AWS soft limit and hard limit?
Most public cloud providers set resource limits to protect cloud users from themselves, in terms of getting a huge bill at the end of the month. This practice also protects the cloud service itself, to ensure that it does not saturate due to a single user provisioning more resources than they should.
soft limits: is the default resource limitation, you can make a request to Amazon to increase these limits when necessary. To increase your limits within AWS, you will need to fill out a different web form for each type of resource.
hard limits: that cannot be changed. Thus, you’re stuck with what AWS provides
for instance, you can create up to 100 buckets in each of your AWS accounts. If you need additional buckets, you can increase your account bucket quota to a maximum of 1,000 buckets by submitting a quota increase request.
so 100 soft limit ---- 1000 hard limit.
