Is there an AWS GTM Instance that provides more than 1000 QPS?

We hit the rate limit of 1000 qps on our AWS gtm and i am trying to find information about how to get this limit raised. It appears to be a license limitation.

 

DNS Rate Limit, 1000 QPS ltm_dns_rate_limit 1000

    What AMI are you running? Is it a "best" and "1G" instance? I don't have a table showing the limits per license but going to our top offering would be a start. Have you already tried that? Additionally, the ltm_dns_rate_limit applies to LTM DNS features like DNS Express while the gtm_rate_limit would apply to the GTM DNS features. What features are you using and how are you aware that you are hitting a license limit? Are you getting a log message?

    F5 Networks Hourly Hotfix-BIGIP-11.6.0.4.0.420-HF4 - Better 1Gbps

     

     

    There is no detail in the description that says that a BEST will give us more QPS. I am trying to figure out if that will give us more QPS prior to building it.

    I ended up just launching a best AMI and it was still capped at 1000 QPS. I am going to open a case with F5 to see if a BYOL instance can go above that. Our on prem Iron seems to be only limited by the hardware capacity.

      See sales. I also thought BYOL might be the way to go, but was only able to generate a 1k QPS license using a normal BIG-IP AWS VE type of license. There are other license types that could allow this. You may be able to get something through sales to unlock more QPS but I'm sorry we can't provide any more information on that here.
