AWS lambda: Update Lambda VPC network interface quota from 250 to 3,000

Service: lambda · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: lambda/latest/dg/troubleshooting-networking.md · Type: network

Summary

Changed the documented default service quota for elastic network interfaces per VPC from 250 to 3,000 for Lambda functions connected to a VPC.

Security assessment

The change only updates a numeric service quota for ENIs created when connecting Lambda to a VPC; it is a capacity/limits correction with no vulnerability, credential, or access-control implication.

Evidence

The default service quota is 3,000 network interfaces per VPC.
