Chapter 8. Quotas

Procedure

1. Define the quota in a file.

2. Use the file to create the quota and apply it to a project:

   $ oc create -f <file> [-n <project_name>]

   For example:

   $ oc create -f core-object-counts.yaml -n demoproject

Procedure

1. Get the list of quotas defined in the project. For example, for a project called demoproject:

   $ oc get quota -n demoproject

   Example output

   NAME                AGE
   besteffort          11m
   compute-resources   2m
   core-object-counts  29m

2. Describe the quota you are interested in, for example the core-object-counts quota:

   $ oc describe quota core-object-counts -n demoproject

   Example output

   Name:			core-object-counts
   Namespace:		demoproject
   Resource		Used	Hard
   --------		----	----
   configmaps		3	10
   persistentvolumeclaims	0	4
   replicationcontrollers	3	20
   secrets			9	10
   services		2	10

Procedure

1. Add a resource quota definition to a project request template:

   • If a project request template does not exist in a cluster:

     1. Create a bootstrap project template and output it to a file called template.yaml:

        $ oc adm create-bootstrap-project-template -o yaml > template.yaml

     2. Add a resource quota definition to template.yaml. The following example defines a resource quota named 'storage-consumption'. The definition must be added before the parameters: section in the template:

        - apiVersion: v1
          kind: ResourceQuota
          metadata:
            name: storage-consumption
            namespace: ${PROJECT_NAME}
          spec:
            hard:
              persistentvolumeclaims: "10" 1
              requests.storage: "50Gi" 2
              gold.storageclass.storage.k8s.io/requests.storage: "10Gi" 3
              silver.storageclass.storage.k8s.io/requests.storage: "20Gi" 4
              silver.storageclass.storage.k8s.io/persistentvolumeclaims: "5" 5
              bronze.storageclass.storage.k8s.io/requests.storage: "0" 6
              bronze.storageclass.storage.k8s.io/persistentvolumeclaims: "0" 7

        1

        The total number of persistent volume claims in a project.

        2

        Across all persistent volume claims in a project, the sum of storage requested cannot exceed this value.

        3

        Across all persistent volume claims in a project, the sum of storage requested in the gold storage class cannot exceed this value.

        4

        Across all persistent volume claims in a project, the sum of storage requested in the silver storage class cannot exceed this value.

        5

        Across all persistent volume claims in a project, the total number of claims in the silver storage class cannot exceed this value.

        6

        Across all persistent volume claims in a project, the sum of storage requested in the bronze storage class cannot exceed this value. When this value is set to 0, the bronze storage class cannot request storage.

        7

        Across all persistent volume claims in a project, the sum of storage requested in the bronze storage class cannot exceed this value. When this value is set to 0, the bronze storage class cannot create claims.

     3. Create a project request template from the modified template.yaml file in the openshift-config namespace:

        $ oc create -f template.yaml -n openshift-config

        Note

        To include the configuration as a kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration annotation, add the --save-config option to the oc create command.

        By default, the template is called project-request.

   • If a project request template already exists within a cluster:

     Note

     If you declaratively or imperatively manage objects within your cluster by using configuration files, edit the existing project request template through those files instead.

     1. List templates in the openshift-config namespace:

        $ oc get templates -n openshift-config

     2. Edit an existing project request template:

        $ oc edit template <project_request_template> -n openshift-config

     3. Add a resource quota definition, such as the preceding storage-consumption example, into the existing template. The definition must be added before the parameters: section in the template.

2. If you created a project request template, reference it in the cluster’s project configuration resource:

   1. Access the project configuration resource for editing:

      • By using the web console:

        1. Navigate to the Administration Cluster Settings page.
        2. Click Configuration to view all configuration resources.
        3. Find the entry for Project and click Edit YAML.

      • By using the CLI:

        1. Edit the project.config.openshift.io/cluster resource:

           $ oc edit project.config.openshift.io/cluster

   2. Update the spec section of the project configuration resource to include the projectRequestTemplate and name parameters. The following example references the default project request template name project-request:

      apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
      kind: Project
      metadata:
        ...
      spec:
        projectRequestTemplate:
          name: project-request

3. Verify that the resource quota is applied when projects are created:

   1. Create a project:

      $ oc new-project <project_name>

   2. List the project’s resource quotas:

      $ oc get resourcequotas

   3. Describe the resource quota in detail:

      $ oc describe resourcequotas <resource_quota_name>

Procedure

1. To select projects based on annotations, run the following command:

   $ oc create clusterquota for-user \
        --project-annotation-selector openshift.io/requester=<user_name> \
        --hard pods=10 \
        --hard secrets=20

   This creates the following ClusterResourceQuota object:

   apiVersion: quota.openshift.io/v1
   kind: ClusterResourceQuota
   metadata:
     name: for-user
   spec:
     quota: 1
       hard:
         pods: "10"
         secrets: "20"
     selector:
       annotations: 2
         openshift.io/requester: <user_name>
       labels: null 3
   status:
     namespaces: 4
     - namespace: ns-one
       status:
         hard:
           pods: "10"
           secrets: "20"
         used:
           pods: "1"
           secrets: "9"
     total: 5
       hard:
         pods: "10"
         secrets: "20"
       used:
         pods: "1"
         secrets: "9"

   1

   The ResourceQuotaSpec object that will be enforced over the selected projects.

   2

   A simple key-value selector for annotations.

   3

   A label selector that can be used to select projects.

   4

   A per-namespace map that describes current quota usage in each selected project.

   5

   The aggregate usage across all selected projects.

   This multi-project quota document controls all projects requested by <user_name> using the default project request endpoint. You are limited to 10 pods and 20 secrets.

2. Similarly, to select projects based on labels, run this command:

   $  oc create clusterresourcequota for-name \1
       --project-label-selector=name=frontend \2
       --hard=pods=10 --hard=secrets=20

   1

   Both clusterresourcequota and clusterquota are aliases of the same command. for-name is the name of the ClusterResourceQuota object.

   2

   To select projects by label, provide a key-value pair by using the format --project-label-selector=key=value.

   This creates the following ClusterResourceQuota object definition:

   apiVersion: quota.openshift.io/v1
   kind: ClusterResourceQuota
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: null
     name: for-name
   spec:
     quota:
       hard:
         pods: "10"
         secrets: "20"
     selector:
       annotations: null
       labels:
         matchLabels:
           name: frontend

Procedure

1. To view quotas applied to a project, run:

   $ oc describe AppliedClusterResourceQuota

   Example output

   Name:   for-user
   Namespace:  <none>
   Created:  19 hours ago
   Labels:   <none>
   Annotations:  <none>
   Label Selector: <null>
   AnnotationSelector: map[openshift.io/requester:<user-name>]
   Resource  Used  Hard
   --------  ----  ----
   pods        1     10
   secrets     9     20
