SERVICE QUOTAS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR AWS CLOUDSHELL

PDFRSS

This page describes the Service quotas and restrictions that apply to the
following areas:

 * Persistent storage

 * Monthly usage

 * Command size

 * Concurrent shells

 * Shell sessions

 * Network access and data transfer

 * System files and page reloads


PERSISTENT STORAGE

With AWS CloudShell, you have persistent storage of 1 GB for each AWS Region at
no cost. Persistent storage is located in your home directory ($HOME) and is
private to you. Unlike ephemeral environment resources that are recycled after
each shell session ends, data in your home directory persists between sessions.

If you stop using AWS CloudShell in an AWS Region, data is retained in the
persistent storage of that Region for 120 days after the end of your last
session. After 120 days, unless you take action, your data is automatically
deleted from the persistent storage of that Region. You can prevent removal by
launching AWS CloudShell again in that AWS Region. For more information, see
Step 2: Select a Region, launch AWS CloudShell, and choose a shell.

NOTE

Usage scenario

Márcia has used AWS CloudShell to store files in her home directories in two AWS
Regions: US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Ireland). She then started using AWS
CloudShell exclusively in Europe (Ireland) and stopped launching shell sessions
in US East (N. Virginia).

Before the deadline for deleting data in US East (N. Virginia), Márcia decides
to prevent her home directory from being recycled by launching AWS CloudShell
and selecting the US East (N. Virginia) Region again. Because she has
continually used Europe (Ireland) for shell sessions, her persistent storage in
that Region isn't affected.


MONTHLY USAGE

There are monthly usage quotas for AWS CloudShell for each AWS Region in your
AWS account. If you attempt to access AWS CloudShell after you reached the
monthly quota for that Region, a message displays to explain why the shell
environment can't be started.

NOTE

If you need to increase your monthly usage quotas, contact AWS Support.


COMMAND SIZE

The command size cannot exceed 65412 characters.

NOTE

If you intend to execute the command that exceeds 65412 characters, then create
a script with the language of your choice, and then execute it from the command
line interface. For more information about the range of pre-installed software
that can be accessed from the command line interface, see Pre-installed
software.

To see as an example of how to create a script, and then execute it from the
command line interface, see Tutorial: Getting started with AWS CloudShell.


CONCURRENT SHELLS

 * Concurrent shells: You can run up to 10 shells at the same time in each AWS
   Region for your account.


SHELL SESSIONS

 * Inactive sessions: AWS CloudShell is an interactive shell environment—if you
   don't interact with it using your keyboard or pointer for 20–30 minutes, your
   shell session ends. Running processes don't count as interactions.

 * Long-running sessions: A shell session that runs continuously for
   approximately 12 hours automatically end even if the user is regularly
   interacting with it during that period.


NETWORK ACCESS AND DATA TRANSFER

The following restrictions apply to both the inbound and outbound traffic of
your AWS CloudShell environment:

 * Outbound: You can access the public internet.

 * Inbound: You can’t access inbound ports. No public IP address is available.

WARNING

With access to the public internet, there's a risk that certain users might
export data from the AWS CloudShell environment. We recommend that IAM
administrators manage the allow list of trusted AWS CloudShell users through IAM
tools. For information about how specific users can be explicitly denied access,
see Managing allowable actions in AWS CloudShell using custom policies.

Data transfer: Uploading and downloading files to and from AWS CloudShell might
be slow for large files. Alternatively, you can transfer files to your
environment from an Amazon S3 bucket using the command line interface of the
shell.


RESTRICTIONS ON SYSTEM FILES AND PAGE RELOADS

 * System files: If you incorrectly modify files that are required by the
   compute environment, you might experience problems when accessing or using
   the AWS CloudShell environment. If this occurs, you might need to deleting
   your home directory to regain access.

 * Reloading pages: To reload the AWS CloudShell interface, use the refresh
   button in your browser instead of the default shortcut key sequence for your
   operating system.
