AWS IAM Identity Center now supports separate quotas for AWS accounts and applications
AWS IAM Identity Center now supports separate quotas for the number of AWS accounts and applications that can be configured in an IAM Identity Center instance. By default, you can configure up to 7,000 AWS accounts and up to 7,000 applications independently, so that using more of one does not consume capacity from the other. Quotas can be further increased by submitting a quota increase request through AWS Service Quotas console. Customers with existing higher limits are automatically granted the same limit for both accounts and applications, with no action required. Organizations managing tho
Cloud providers are continuously refining their services to meet the growing and increasingly complex demands of enterprise customers for granular control over resource management and identity, especially as cloud adoption deepens.
This update provides greater flexibility and scalability for organizations managing cloud access, reducing friction for large-scale deployments and allowing more efficient resource allocation for identity and access management.
AWS IAM Identity Center users can now configure substantially more AWS accounts and applications independently, without one type of resource constraint impacting the other, streamlining identity management at scale.

Enterprises can scale their AWS account and application deployments more easily within IAM Identity Center without hitting previous combined resource limits.
This improved scalability might encourage broader adoption of AWS IAM Identity Center for centralized identity management across complex AWS environments.
Increased flexibility in IAM could subtly accelerate the migration of more complex, multi-account workloads to AWS, potentially impacting competing cloud providers.
