Hi Sanjay,

The FS states that "  Root/Domain Admin should be able to limit the followi=
ng resources" etc.

Do you mean a domain admin can change the limit for his own domain? If so, =
I wonder if this is appropriate?? A domain admin must be able to change onl=
y for any/all sub-domains or accounts under his own domain or all sub-domai=
ns -

Does it make sense?

Also, I don't see FS being up-to-date - for example, the detail regarding t=
he upgrade scenario doesn't seem to be updated, as per Chiradeep' suggestio=
n..

Can you please take of it?

Thanks!

Hari

[]  If user cross the resource limit set for his/her account, CloudStack th=
rows a message to the user that limit of this resource type has been exceed=
ed. Apart from this CS does not send any alarm or warnings for this conditi=
on(if there is a requirement for this, I can definitely add it into this fe=
ature).

[] We don't have separate API for this. To calculate the resources that are=
 left for his/her account, user can use listAccounts API which displays the=
 resource limits and the total resources that are being consumed by that ac=
count.
In CloudStack UI, user can see the resource details under the "accounts" de=
tailView.
