> 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.
