Thomas,

the amazon link[1] shows the instance limit is not just 20 VMs:

"You are limited to running 20 On-Demand or Reserved Instances, and running
100 Spot Instances per region. Cluster GPU Quadruple Extra Large instances
and High I/O Quadruple Extra Large instances are limited to running 2
On-Demand instances per region (Currently cg1.4xlarge instances are only
available in the US East (N. Virginia) and EU West (Ireland) regions, and
hi1.4xlarge instances are available in the US East (N. Virginia and EU West
(Ireland) regions). If you need more instances, complete the Amazon EC2
instance request form <http://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/ec2-request> with
your use case and your instance increase will be considered. Limit
increases are tied to the region they were requested for."

Do you know of any other limits besides the ones listed above?

best,
Joe
