Prasanna, Thanks for the suggestions :) Please find my comments inline.
>>All of this tells me that the admin estimates the proportion of physical >>resources to the virtual resources in the data center before deciding on >>these limits? But in your FS you mention this use-case also applies to domain >>admins. DomainAdmins don't have a view of the physical resources today. So >>this should all be admin only. [SANJAY]: You are right that DomainAdmins don't have a view of physical resources in CloudStack UI (we should file an improvement for this), but they can set limits though APIs. >>Can you explain how an admin decides on such an estimate? How does he solve >>the problem of - >>I have 2TB secondary storage and 10 accounts with 2 domain admins who can >>create accounts and define limits ? How many snapshots should I allow per >>account? How many templates/ISOs one can register? [SANJAY]: In CS, domain admin can't create accounts they can only manage them and it all depends on domain admins that how they want to set the limits on accounts under there domain. For example, out of 2TB secondary storage, suppose 1.5 TB is the limit set for domain D1 and D2, now it depends on D1 domain admin that how he wants to set the limits on accounts within the limit set for domain D1. While deploying any instance CS will perform a check on account as well as on domain to ensure that the resources that user is using are within the limits . >>You might want to list out use cases as above. Right now regardless of >>resource type it seems only CPU resource limit is affected as per the FS. >>Copy/Paste Error? >>How does the listResourceLimits API resource type look like post the change? >>For each role. there's already quite a few numbered resourcetypes - 0 >>-instance, 1-disks etc. [SANJAY]: Currently I am working on the it and will share the FS shortly. >>Since this will be admin only: Is there any diff. between a domain-admin >>updating the resource limit of instances for a user as opposed to an admin >>doing the same? Do you deal with each update differently. [Sanjay]: We are planning to do it for both admin and domain-admin. Domain-admin can update the limits on the top of admin but only within the limits set for that domain Regards, Sanjay
