Account quotas: compute quotas for a cluster, with guaranteed and burstable limits for CPU and memory, one of them near its limit, beside storage quotas showing the space used in each of three storage pools.

Key benefits

  • CPU and memory guarantees for critical services as demand rises

  • Quota boundaries that stop a few workloads overconsuming

  • Less disruption from noisy neighbours

  • Short bursts allowed, with long-term capacity still governed

  • Allocation aligned with business priorities and service tiers

  • Policy-based control in place of manual firefighting

Feature breakdown

  1. Compute pools for policy-aligned allocation

    Allocation follows policy, not chance, for customers, departments and service tiers on shared infrastructure. Planning, priorities and accountability stay clear as demand grows.

  2. CPU and memory guarantees

    Key workloads get higher baseline allocations while overall use stays within set limits. Service commitments are met without constant manual adjustment.

  3. Burst controls and noisy-neighbour protection

    Workloads absorb short bursts without upsetting the capacity balance, and fair-usage rules limit noisy neighbours. Controlled adjustments keep the platform stable as demand changes.

  4. Tenant and departmental enforcement

    Enforce quotas by tenant or department so governance matches ownership, from customer plans to business units. Costs and accountability get clearer.

What it means in practice

Run shared infrastructure with predictable tenant service quality.
