+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
