Nova's API has the ability to create "quota classes", which are
basically limits for a set of resource types. There is something
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.
Chris, are you advocating for *keeping* the os-quota-classes API?
Nope. I had two points:
1) It's kind of irrelevant whether anyone has created a quota class
other than "default" because nova wouldn't use it anyways.
2) The main benefit (as I see it) of the quota class API is to allow
dynamic adjustment of the default quotas without restarting services.
I totally agree that keystone limits should replace it. I just didn't
want the discussion to be focused on the non-default class portion
because it doesn't matter.
