Chapter 5. Quota management


As a cloud administrator, you can set and manage quotas for a project. Each project is allocated resources, and project users are granted access to consume these resources. This enables multiple projects to use a single cloud without interfering with each other’s permissions and resources. A set of resource quotas are preconfigured when a new project is created. The quotas include the amount of VCPUs, instances, RAM, and floating IPs that can be assigned to projects. Quotas can be enforced at both the project and the project-user level. You can set or modify Compute and Block Storage quotas for new and existing projects using the dashboard. For more information, see Managing projects.

5.3. Setting Object Storage quotas for a user

Object Storage quotas can be classified under the following categories:

  • Container quotas - Limits the total size (in bytes) or number of objects that can be stored in a single container.
  • Account quotas - Limits the total size (in bytes) that a user has available in the Object Storage service.

To set either container quotas or the account quotas, the Object Storage proxy server must have the parameters container_quotas or account_quotas (or both) added to the [pipeline:main] section of the proxy-server.conf file:

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = catch_errors [...] tempauth container-quotas \
account-quotas slo dlo proxy-logging proxy-server

[filter:account_quotas]
use = egg:swift#account_quotas

[filter:container_quotas]
use = egg:swift#container_quotas

Use the following command to view and update the Object Storage quotas. All users included in a project can view the quotas placed on the project. To update the Object Storage quotas on a project, you must have the role of a ResellerAdmin in the project.

To view account quotas:

# swift stat

Account: AUTH_b36ed2d326034beba0a9dd1fb19b70f9
Containers: 0
Objects: 0
Bytes: 0
Meta Quota-Bytes: 214748364800
X-Timestamp: 1351050521.29419
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To update quotas:

# swift post -m quota-bytes:<BYTES>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

For example, to place a 5 GB quota on an account:

# swift post -m quota-bytes:5368709120
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
