Project limits and quotas
The default settings in each project are project limits — limits on the creation of cloud platform resources. Project limits can only be changed through technical support.
Within the project limits, users with certain roles can increase or decrease quotas to resources in the control panel or via API — more information about quota change.
Project limits
In projects is allocated a limit per resource — is the maximum number of resources that can be created in one project. The limits are set automatically when you create a project.
The limits of a single resource may vary from one resource to another pools and pool segments. By default, the limits of a particular resource in one pool or pool segment are the same across all projects in the account.
You can increase the limit any project through technical support. You can set different limits for different projects. Limits can be increased automatically as the product is used.
Increase the project limit
Different limits can be set for different projects.
- Create a ticket. Limits will increase in only one project.
- Increase quotas.
quotas
Quotas can be used to limit the creation of cloud resources in a project — to consumption control and cost containment.
When the resource quantity reaches the quota value, the resource will stop being created. For example, you have allocated a quota in one project to create ten vCPUs in the ru-7a pool segment. Until you increase the quota, no more than ten vCPUs will be created. You can completely limit resource creation by setting the quota equal to zero.
When a project is created, quotas are allocated to each resource by default equal to project limits. The quota values of a single resource may differ from one resource to another pools and pool segments. You can quota change within the project limit.
Unused quotas are not paid for — you pay only for the resources you use. For example, if you allocated a quota for ten public IP addresses, but created three IP addresses, only three addresses will be charged.
Change quotas
The quota value for each resource can be increased or decreased, but only within the limits of the project limit. A single resource can be allocated different numbers of quotas in different pools and pool segments.
You can change all project quotas at the same time: increase to the maximum (project limit) or reduce to the current consumption.
Quotas can be changed via Quota Management API or in the control panel.
- In control panel go to Cloud platform → quotas.
- Select region and pool where the quotas need to be changed.
- In the row of the desired quota → in the column Quota click .
- Specify a new quota value. The quota value must not be less than the current consumption, it can be viewed in the column Used. If you have reached the maximum quota value, increase the project limit.
- Click .
- Optional: to raise all project quotas to the project limit, in the menu select Raise all project quotas to the maximum. To reduce all quotas to current consumption, select Reduce all project quotas to consumption.
View Consumption
You can see the maximum possible consumption for the current number of quotas (how much the project will spend if all quotas are used) and the current consumption of each resource and pool.
- In control panel go to Cloud platform → quotas.
- Look at the current consumption of each resource in the column Consumption.
- To see the maximum possible consumption of the project, click How much will the project consume if I use all the allocated quotas?
