Versions per prefix list
Default 1000, Adjustable Yes, If a prefix list has 1,000 stored versions and you add a new version, the oldest version is removed so that the new version can be added.
Maximum number of entries per prefix list
Default 1000, Adjustable Yes, You can resize a customer-managed prefix list up to 1000. For more information, see Resize a prefix list. When you reference a prefix list in a resource, the maximum number of entries for the prefix lists counts against the quota for the number of entries for the resource. For example, if you create a prefix list with 20 maximum entries and you reference that prefix list in a security group rule, this counts as 20 security group rules.
References to a prefix list per resource type
Default 5000, Adjustable Yes, This quota applies per resource type that can reference a prefix list. For example, you can have 5,000 references to a prefix list across all of your security groups plus 5,000 references to a prefix list across all of your subnet route tables. If you share a prefix list with other AWS accounts, the other accounts’ references to your prefix list count toward this quota.
Customer-managed prefix lists
Sets of IP address ranges that you define and manage. You can share your prefix list with other AWS accounts, enabling those accounts to reference the prefix list in their own resources.
AWS-managed prefix lists
Sets of IP address ranges for AWS services. You cannot create, modify, share, or delete an AWS-managed prefix list.
