11 and 12 should mean "amount of primary (secondary) storage space", IMO

Hi Sanjay,

Few queries I have here :

(i) what is the difference between (3) and (11) ?
(ii) what is the difference between (4), (5) and (12) except no. of ISOs?=20
(iii) how the network bandwidth you mentioned in (13) is different from thr=
ottling that we specify at network offering / vm.network.throttling.rate - =
used by service offering ?
(iv) can you please give some more info on how this is going to help provid=
ers / accounts with this additional setting? Is this to control some kind o=
f licensing limitations?

Thanks,
SWAMY

Subject: [DISCUSS] Limit Resources to domain/account

Hi all,

CloudStack today offers the ability to limit the following resources to a d=
omain/account:
1. VM - Number of instance a user can create 2. Pubic IP - Number of public=
 IP addresses a user can own.
3. Volume - Number of disk volumes a user can create.
4. Snapshot - Number of snapshots a user can create.
5. Template - Number of templates that a user can register/create.
6. Projects - Number of projects a user can create.
7. Network - Number of guest networks that a user can create.
8. VPC - Number of VPCs that a user can create

These limits are useful to some extent but if admin would like to allow use=
r to create custom VMs based on need, for e.g. one large VM or many small V=
Ms etc.=20
Admin would like to restrict the resources like CPU, RAM, storage etc. a us=
er can consume by setting limits.

I would like to propose a new feature based on the above mentioned requirem=
ents in which admin would be able to set limits on following resources apar=
t from the above mentioned resources types:
9. CPUs
10. RAM
11. Primary (shared) storage (Volumes)
12. Secondary storage (Snapshots, Templates & ISOs) 13. Network bandwidth r=
ate (in bps) 14. Number of times a OS template can be deployed

I am working on FS and will share it shortly.

Please let me know your comments/suggestions.

Thanks,
Sanjay
