TooManyLoadBalancers error when trying to create a new load balancer

Description

You get the following error when trying to create a new load balancer on AWS:
Error: TooManyLoadBalancers: Exceeded quota of account XXXXXXXXXXXX

(XXXXXXXXXXXX = your amazon account id)

Solution

By default, each Amazon EC2 customer has a limit of 10 load balancers that they can create at any one time using Elastic Load Balancing. If you would like to increase this limit above 10 concurrent load balancers, please complete this form:
https://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/elb-request/

Amazon says they will review the use case and contact you within 3-5 business days but it usually takes them much less than that.

Affected software:

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
