Project resource quota administration

You can manage project resource quotas to prevent any single tenant from consuming excessive compute, networking, or storage resources, ensuring fair usage and overall system stability.

Each project is allocated resources, and project users are granted access to consume these resources. This enables multiple projects to use a single cloud without interfering with each other’s permissions and resources.

A set of resource quotas are pre-configured when a new project is created. The quotas include the amount of VCPUs, instances, RAM, and floating IPs that can be assigned to projects.

View the resource quotas assigned to a project to check current limits. Comparing quota values against actual usage helps you troubleshoot why users cannot create resources and determine when to adjust specific allowances.

Procedure

List the currently set quota values: 
$ openstack quota show [PROJECT-ID]

For example:

$ openstack quota show f0ba064c24ca4176ac55a45635ca561f
