> 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.
