Hi all,
CloudStack today offers the ability to limit the following resources to a
domain/account:
1. VM - Number of instance a user can create
2. Pubic IP - Number of public IP addresses a user can own.
3. Volume - Number of disk volumes a user can create.
4. Snapshot - Number of snapshots a user can create.
5. Template - Number of templates that a user can register/create.
6. Projects - Number of projects a user can create.
7. Network - Number of guest networks that a user can create.
8. VPC - Number of VPCs that a user can create
These limits are useful to some extent but if admin would like to allow user to
create custom VMs based on need, for e.g. one large VM or many small VMs etc.
Admin would like to restrict the resources like CPU, RAM, storage etc. a user
can consume by setting limits.
I would like to propose a new feature based on the above mentioned requirements
in which admin would be able to set limits on following resources apart from
the above mentioned resources types:
9. CPUs
10. RAM
11. Primary (shared) storage (Volumes)
12. Secondary storage (Snapshots, Templates & ISOs)
13. Network bandwidth rate (in bps)
14. Number of times a OS template can be deployed
I am working on FS and will share it shortly.
Please let me know your comments/suggestions.
Thanks,
Sanjay
