Chapter 17. Managing project quotas
17.1. Configuring project quotas
OpenStack Networking (neutron) supports the use of quotas to constrain the number of resources created by tenants/projects.
You can set project quotas for various network components in the /var/lib/config-data/neutron/etc/neutron/neutron.conf file.
For example, to limit the number of routers that a project can create, change the
quota_routervalue:quota_router = 10
In this example, each project is limited to a maximum of 10 routers.
For a listing of the quota settings, see sections that immediately follow.
