Quota

Nuvla protects users from overuse by applying a quota mechanism. The same feature gives administrators a powerful tool to control usage on the platform. The feature takes the form of a Quota resource that provides fine grain control over how many resources can be consumed, by users, groups, etc.

When deploying new resources, Nuvla checks if the requested deployment will result in the user exceeding her quota. Only if this is not the case, will the deployment be accepted. (If more than one quota applies, then they must all pass for the request to be accepted.)

Note

The current usage when evaluating a quota will include all workloads: those deployed through Nuvla and those deployed directly on the cloud. Nuvla, however, can only block deployment requests that pass through Nuvla.

The quotas and quota status can be found on the “Quota” page of the new browser interface. Hovering over a Quota indicator will provide more details.

The organization’s administrator can find more more details on this feature and how to access Quota resources from the API in the Quota API documentation.

Because a malformed quota can have a severe impact on a large number of users, all quota changes or additions must be handled through Nuvla Support and requested by an organization’s administrator.

Note

Quotas defined on the Exoscale cloud are periodically queried and then updated on Nuvla. As for all quotas, these can be seen in the browser interface and through the API.
