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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
