Stephen Finucane 29b9f788de docs: Blast most references to nova-network
The only ones remaining are some real crufty SVGs and references to
things that still exist because nova-network was once a thing.

Quotas

Nova uses a quota system for setting limits on resources such as number of instances or amount of CPU that a specific project or user can use.

Quota limits and usage can be retrieved using the command-line interface.

Types of quota

Quota name Description
cores Number of instance cores (VCPUs) allowed per project.
instances Number of instances allowed per project.
key_pairs Number of key pairs allowed per user.
metadata_items Number of metadata items allowed per instance.
ram Megabytes of instance ram allowed per project.
server_groups Number of server groups per project.
server_group_members Number of servers per server group.

The following quotas were previously available but were removed in microversion 2.36 as they proxied information available from the networking service.

Quota name Description
fixed_ips Number of fixed IP addresses allowed per project. This number must be equal to or greater than the number of allowed instances.
floating_ips Number of floating IP addresses allowed per project.
networks Number of networks allowed per project (no longer used).
security_groups Number of security groups per project.
security_group_rules Number of security group rules per project.

Similarly, the following quotas were previously available but were removed in microversion 2.57 as the personality files feature was deprecated.

Quota name Description
injected_files Number of injected files allowed per project.
injected_file_content_bytes Number of content bytes allowed per injected file.
injected_file_path_bytes Length of injected file path.

Usage

Project quotas

To list all default quotas for projects, run:

$ openstack quota show --default

Note

This lists default quotas for all services and not just nova.

For example:

$ openstack quota show --default

$ openstack quota show PROJECT

where PROJECT is the ID or name of your project. For example:

$ openstack quota show $OS_PROJECT_ID

User quotas

Note

User-specific quotas are legacy and will be removed when migration to unified limits </admin/unified-limits.html> is complete. User-specific quotas were added as a way to provide two-level hierarchical quotas and this feature is already being offered in unified limits. For this reason, the below commands have not and will not be ported to openstackclient.

To list the quotas for your user, run:

$ nova quota-show --user USER --tenant PROJECT

where USER is the ID or name of your user and PROJECT is the ID or name of your project. For example:

$ nova quota-show --user $OS_USERNAME --tenant $OS_PROJECT_ID
+-----------------------------+-------+
| Quota                       | Limit |
+-----------------------------+-------+
| instances                   | 10    |
| cores                       | 32    |
| ram                         | 65536 |
| metadata_items              | 128   |
| injected_files              | 5     |
| injected_file_content_bytes | 10240 |
| injected_file_path_bytes    | 255   |
| key_pairs                   | 100   |
| server_groups               | 10    |
| server_group_members        | 10    |
