Quotas reference
The resource dimensions a tenant quota controls, their units, and the rules that govern them.
How quotas work
- Quotas are set per tenant (child account), separately for compute (per compute pool) and storage (per storage pool).
- A value of 0 or unset means unlimited for that dimension.
- For each dimension, the Max must be greater than or equal to the Guarantee.
- A tenant can only be delegated up to the capacity remaining in its parent.
- PAYG (pay-as-you-go) marks a dimension as billed on usage rather than a fixed allocation.
Compute quota dimensions
| Dimension | Label in the UI | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| CPU guaranteed | Physical Guaranteed (GHz) | GHz |
| CPU burstable limit | Physical Burstable Limit (GHz) | GHz |
| Memory guaranteed | Physical Guaranteed (GB) | GB |
| Memory power-on limit | Power On Limit (GB) | GB |
| Memory burst limit | Physical Burstable Limit (GB) | GB |
| vCPU limit | Power On Limit (vCPUs) | vCPUs |
| Pay-as-you-go | PAYG | on / off |
Storage quota dimensions
| Dimension | Unit |
|---|---|
| Storage guaranteed | GB |
| Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) | on / off |
Usage & headroom
The Quotas overview shows live consumption against each allocation.
- Used vCPU and used RAM (GB) are summed from the tenant’s running VMs.
- For each dimension the overview reports the max, current pool usage, amount used, amount remaining, and percentage used.
- Headroom bars turn from healthy to warning as usage approaches the limit.
Numeric field limits (e.g. whole-number GB, vCPU ≥ 1, RAM ≥ 512 MB) are covered in the Limits & validation reference (click here).
