Quotas and Limits

Technical and organizational restrictions are necessary to guarantee the stability and reliability of the platform. Resource usage limits allow platform clients to freely access VK Cloud services.

Quotas

Quotas are organizational restrictions on the operational activity of each project.

Quotas are enforced by granting or reserving resources when a request is made, such as when creating a new virtual machine. If resource allocation is not possible, the request to create the resource is denied. If the reservation succeeds, the operation continues until the reservation is either converted to use (the operation was successful) or rolled back (the operation failed).

When a project is created, minimum quotas are assigned. Quotas differ depending on the region of the project. For more information about regions, see the article Regions.

There are several types of message about insufficient quotas in a project: When creating a resource in the create request window for High-IOPS SSDs or (for some entities) when trying to create an entity.

Base quotas

When a project is created, it is assigned default resource quotas for all new projects. Each new project does not inherit the available number of quotas from existing projects.

Quotas differ depending on the region of the project. For more information about regions, see the article Regions.

The display of basic quotas for resources is located at the top of the window of each service.

A complete list of quotas in a project can be obtained via the CLI using the command:

open stack quota show

or separately for each service:

1nova quota-show
2cinder quota-show
3manila quota-show
4neutron quota-show

The standard quota set is defined as follows:

Technical limits

The stability of the VK Cloud services is ensured by setting the technical limits of the platform. These are general limitations due to the peculiarities of the VK Cloud architecture.

The current technical limits have the following meanings:
