In this blog, let us learn how to "Request for limit increase for any service". In our case, "Request for Limit Increase for EC2 Dedicated Hosts"

Why: 

The reason why I am requesting limit increase is to work on & experience creation of EC2 MAC OS instance in my AWS account. But dedicated OS doesnt work or the limit has been set to zero as I am holding a free tier account

Pre-requisite:

  • An active AWS account
  • Permissions & approvals to place "Request to raise EC2 Dedicated Hosts limit increase"
Steps:

  • Login to your AWS account and navigate to AWS Support center console

AWS - HowTo delete S3 objects easily

 


In this post, let us see the easy option for deleting object from an S3 Bucket.


Pre-requisites:

  1. An active AWS account
  2. permissions to create/upload objects into an s3 bucket

Steps:
  • Login & Navigate to the AWS S3 console
  • Find & select the S3 Bucket which has to be deleted completely


  • Click on "Empty" and this will clear all objects under the selected bucket
Note: This is rather different from "delete" option that is visible next to "empty" in S3 Console. "delete" is to be used to delete an empty bucket thus losing that bucket from that account were as "empty" is to delete all objects under the selected bucket and yet retain the bucket
