Create a cloud quota definition

A cloud quota definition specifies the limitations on a resource block. You can use templates or manually create different types of configurations for each quota definition.

Avant de commencer

Role required: sn_cmp.cloud_governor

Procédure

1. In the Cloud Admin Portal, navigate to Govern > Quota.
2. Click New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.

   Tableau 1. Quota Definition form

   Field	Description
   Quota Definition	A unique identifier for the quota definition. Typically it is the resource name_count or resource name_size. For example: Network_Count, VM_Count, or StorageVolume_Size.
   Quota Type	Type of quota restriction to set: Count Size
   Resource Name	The Resource Block type to apply the quota to. Select from the lookup list. For example, select Cloud Resource for any template-based cloud resource. For more information, see Resource blocks in Cloud Provisioning and Governance.
   Calculation Unit	The unit this quota is calculated in: GB Single
   CI Class	The CMDB CI class to be selected from the lookup list.
   Attribute	The column name from the underlying CI type on the resource block that holds the value to restrict with the quota. For example, if your quota limits the CPU count on a virtual server, the table of the underlying CI type is cmdb_ci_vm_instance. The cpus column holds that CPU data. So you would enter cpus. You can also enter instance.
   Template [optional]	The table name of a resource type, for example Hardware Type [cmdb_ci_compute_template] or Image [cmdb_ci_os_template].
   Template Attribute [optional]	A column from the table you specified in the Template field. This it the attribute on which the quota is set. For example, if you selected the [cmdb_ci_compute_template] template and you want to put a quota on the virtual CPUs, you would enter vcpus. That column stores the virtual CPU count for all records in the [cmdb_ci_compute_template] table.

4. Right-click the header and select Save.
   The Quota Configurations, Default Quotas, and Cloud Template Resources related lists appear.
5. In the Quota Configurations related list, click New.

   Field	Description
   Group Maximum Limit	The maximum quota limit for the group.
