Nova's API has the ability to create "quota classes", which are

called the "default quota class" which corresponds to the limits in
the CONF.quota section. Quota classes are basically templates of
limits to be applied if the calling project doesn't have any stored
project-specific limits.
Has anyone ever created a quota class that is different from "default"?
The Compute API specifically says:
"Only ‘default’ quota class is valid and used to set the default quotas,
all other quota class would not be used anywhere."
What this API does provide is the ability to set new default quotas for
*all* projects at once rather than individually specifying new defaults
for each project.
It's a "defaults template", yes.
The alternative is, you know, to just set the default values in
CONF.quota, which is what I said above. Or, if you want project X to
have different quota limits from those CONF-driven defaults, then set
the quotas for the project to some different values via the
os-quota-sets API (or better yet, just use Keystone's /limits API when
we write the "limits driver" into Nova). The issue is that the
os-quota-classes API is currently blocking *me* writing that "limits
driver" in Nova because I don't want to port nova-specific functionality
(like quota classes) to a limits driver when the Keystone /limits
endpoint doesn't have that functionality and nobody I know of has ever
used it.
Chris, are you advocating for *keeping* the os-quota-classes API?
Best,
