-When your workloads reach a considerable scale, these API operations might be throttled. That is, they might be throttled enough to breach the limits enforced by Amazon ECS or the AWS service that is being called. For example, if you deploy hundreds of services, each having hundreds of tasks concurrently that use the `awsvpc` network mode, Amazon ECS invokes Amazon EC2 API operations such as `CreateNetworkInterface` and ELB API operations such as `RegisterTarget` or `DescribeTargetHealth` to register the elastic network interface and load balancer, respectively. These API calls can exceed the API limits, resulting in throttling errors. The following is an example of an ELB throttling error that's included in the service event message.
