Hi all,
    Thanks for all the feedback. Please see below.

   Placement already stores usage information for all allocations of
   resources. There is already even a /usages API endpoint that you can
   specify a project and/or user:

   https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/placement/#list-usages
   <https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/placement/#list-usages>

   I see no reason not to use it.

 This does not seem to be per-project (per-tenant). Given a tenant ID and a resource class, we want to get usages of that RC by that tenant. Please LMK if I misunderstood something.

As Matt mentioned, Nova does not handle accelerators and presumably would not handle quotas for them either.

       There is already actually a spec to use placement for quota
       usage checks in Nova here:

       https://review.openstack.org/#/c/509042/
       <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/509042/>


   FYI, I'm working on a spec which append to that spec. It's about
   counting quota for the resource class(GPU, custom RC, etc) other
   than nova built-in resources(cores, ram). It should be able to count
   the resource classes which are used by cyborg. But yes, we probably
   should answer Matt's question first, whether we should let Nova
   count quota instead of Cyborg.


here is the line https://review.openstack.org/#/c/569011/


Alex, is this expected to be implemented by Rocky?


        Probably best to have a look at that and see if it will end up
        meeting your needs.

              * Cyborg provides a filter for the Nova scheduler, which
            checks
                whether the project making the request has exceeded
            its own quota.


        Quota checks happen before Nova's scheduler gets involved, so
        having a scheduler filter handle quota usage checking is
        pretty much a non-starter.

This applies only to the resources that Nova handles, IIUC, which does not handle accelerators. The generic method that Alex talks about is obviously preferable but, if that is not available in Rocky, is the filter an option?


        I'll have a look at the patches you've proposed and comment there.

Thanks!


        Best,
