Hi all, Currently, the legitimate users of CloudStack can occasionally hammer the server with heavy API requests that cause undesirable results, like killing the server, performance issues for other CloudStack users. Also, it may become a mechanism for certain malicious users to do malicious attacks to CloudStack service to cause cloud outage. To prevent certain things happen, we would like to introduce API request throttling feature to limit number of APIs that can be placed by each account within certain time duration and will block API requests if the account is over the limit so that he/she have to retry later. The detailed FS can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/API+Request+Throttling.
Please let me know any comments and suggestions. Thanks -min
