Or, to put it another way, it’s not how many you have, but what you do with
them that counts.
Firstly, bear in mind that the word “extension” means something specific in
Asterisk - it’s a pattern match inside a context in the dial plan.
Many people, however (and I’m going to guess that you are one of them) use the
word to mean a telephone (number), or an endpoint device which is connected to
Asterisk and can make or receive calls.
In both meanings, however, the answer to your question is basically that you
can create as many as you like.
The limit comes with how many can be used at the same time - in other words,
the number of calls, or often more specifically, the number of call setups
(creating a new call takes far more processing power than maintaining an
existing one) per second, per minute, per hour, etc.
And that is a question we can’t answer unless we at least know what sort of
AWS server you are considering using.
Maybe someone here who has experience of running Asterisk on AWS can give you
some guidelines (I am not such a person), but a large part of the answer is
going to be down to how complex your dialplan is.
At the end of the day I think your most accurate answer is going to be the one
you get from trying it out and seeing where the limits are.
