======================
View and manage quotas
======================
.. |nbsp| unicode:: 0xA0 .. nbsp
:trim:
To prevent system capacities from being exhausted without notification,
you can set up quotas. Quotas are operational limits. For example, the
number of gigabytes allowed for each project can be controlled so that
cloud resources are optimized. Quotas can be enforced at both the project
and the project-user level.
Typically, you change quotas when a project needs more than ten
volumes or 1 |nbsp| TB on a compute node.
Using the Dashboard, you can view default Compute and Block Storage
quotas for new projects, as well as update quotas for existing projects.
.. note::
Using the command-line interface, you can manage quotas for the
OpenStack Compute service, the OpenStack Block Storage service, and
the OpenStack Networking service (see `OpenStack Administrator Guide
<https://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/cli-set-quotas.html>`_).
Additionally, you can update Compute service quotas for
project users.
The following table describes the Compute and Block Storage service quotas:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. Log in to the dashboard and select the :guilabel:`admin` project
from the drop-down list.
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System` tab
and click the :guilabel:`Defaults` category.
#. The default quota values are displayed.
.. note::
You can sort the table by clicking on either the

Update project quotas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. Log in to the dashboard and select the :guilabel:`admin` project
from the drop-down list.
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System` tab
and click the :guilabel:`Defaults` category.

#. In the :guilabel:`Update Default Quotas` window,
you can edit the default quota values.
#. Click the :guilabel:`Update Defaults` button.
.. note::
The dashboard does not show all possible project quotas.
To view and update the quotas for a service, use its
command-line client. See `OpenStack Administrator Guide
