AWS IAM now provides higher maximum quotas for roles, role trust policies, instance profiles, managed policies, and identity providers

Amazon Web Services has significantly increased maximum quotas for six key Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources, doubling limits for most categories. The updates include expanding customer managed policies per account from 5,000 to 10,000, increasing roles per account from 5,000 to 10,000, and raising instance profiles per account from 5,000 to 10,000. Additionally, AWS has increased managed policies per role from 20 to 25, expanded role trust policy length from 4,096 to 8,192 characters, and raised OpenID Connect providers per account from 100 to 700. These quota increases directly address scaling constraints that customers face as their AWS environments expand and require more complex identity management configurations. The changes are particularly significant for large enterprises running multiple workloads that need extensive IAM resource creation and customization. Customers can request additional quota increases through the Service Quotas console in commercial regions or AWS Support in GovCloud and China regions.
