Quota Profiles

Quota Profiles are predefined templates that serve as suggestions for distributing your quotas. You can also override Quota Profiles and modify individual quotas; you are not bound to the profiles.

Prerequisites

  • At least Partner rights.

Create Quota Profiles

If the predefined profiles are not sufficient, you can create your own quotas for easier resource management. These custom quotas can then be selected and used when creating OpenStack projects. Please proceed as follows:

  • Navigate to Quotas on the left and then click on Quota Profiles.
  • Now click the Create profile button.

Important

  • Quota changes made will NOT directly affect the quotas of existing projects that originally used the previous quota at the time of creation.
  • Only newly created OpenStack projects will use the modified Quota Profile.
  • To apply the quotas of a modified profile to one or more projects, please refer to Set Quota Profile.

Set quota profile

To assign a Quota Profile to one or more projects, please navigate to Quota on the left and then click on Manage Quotas.

  • Now switch to the Project Quota tab (1).
  • Select the correct client (2) and the project you wish to modify (3).

Important

  • If the client's available quota for a specific resource type is insufficient, an error message will appear.
  • Example: Error: Insufficient Volume_Snapshots Quota.
  • In this case, this resource type will not be adjusted, but all others will.
  • Solution: Adjust your Quota Profile, or request a higher quota for this resource type.
