Quota Management

The Quota Management dashboard in the Cloud Services Portal provides full control over the usage of your OpenStack cloud resources. Depending on your order and contract, your client account is assigned a maximum number of resources (e.g., projects, vCPUs, RAM, VMs, number and size of storage volumes, etc.). You can flexibly distribute this total quota among your individual OpenStack projects. This allows you to precisely control how many resources each project may consume. If your quota for specific resource types is insufficient, you can request an increase directly through the Cloud Services Portal.

Note

Please note that the quota currently applies individually to each region.

Example Quota Management vCPU

The following graphic illustrates the principle of Quota Management using the vCPU resource type as an example.

image

  • Enterprise Partner 1: Has allocated 110 of 5000 vCPUs to Client A (100 vCPU) & Client B (10 vCPU).
  • Client A: (Production Customer)
    • Has assigned 10 of 100 vCPUs to Project 1 (Develop).
    • Has assigned 80 of 100 vCPUs to Project 2 (Production).
    • Both projects are already using all their assigned resources.
  • Client B: (Trial Customer)
    • Has assigned all 10 of 10 vCPUs to Project 1 (Trial).
    • Project Trial is already using 8 of the 10 vCPUs.
