Quota service while allowing for scalability will make sure that the cloud is
not exploited by attacks, careless use and program errors. To address this
problem, we propose to employ a quota-enforcement service that allows resource
usage within certain bounds as defined by policies and available quotas for
various entities.
Quota service extends the functionality of usage server to provide a
measurement for the resources used by the accounts and domains using a common
unit referred to as cloud currency in this document. It can be configured to
ensure that your usage won’t exceed the budget allocated to accounts/domain in
cloud currency.
It will let user know how much of the cloud resources he is using. It will help
the cloud admins, if they want, to ensure that a user does not go beyond his
allocated quota. Per usage cycle if a account is found to be exceeding its
quota then it is locked. Locking an account means that it will not be able to
initiat
e a new resource allocation request, whether it is more storage or an
additional ip. Needless to say quota service as well as any action on the
account is configurable.
