Introduction

Purpose

Currently in CloudStack, the admin can limit the resources managed by CloudStack by setting limits for accounts and domains. But these existing limits are based on resource count, that limits the user on the basis of no. of VMs, no. of Volumes, no. of snapshots etc. and not of the basis of storage space, CPU, memory etc.

This feature will add new (CPU, RAM, Primary storage, Secondary storage, network rate etc.) resource types to the existing pool of resources. CS admin would be able to set the limits i.e. CPU, memory, storage etc. for accounts/domains through API or through CloudStack UI. This is functional specifications of feature CLOUDSTACK-713.

Current Scenario

  • updateResourceLimit API has the following resource types:** Instance - Number of instances a user can create.
    • Public IPs - Number of public IP addresses a user can own.
    • Volume - Number of disk volumes a user can create.
    • Snapshot - Number of snapshots a user can create.
    • Template - Number of templates that a user can register/create. 
    • Network - Number of guest networks that a user can create.
    • VPC - Number of VPCs that a user can create.

  • Non-requirements:

  • Test guidelines

    • Functional test

      • max.project.network.rate(in mbps) - Maximum network rate that can be used for an account. Default value for this is 200.

  • User permission

    • Normal users would have privilege to list resource limits (listResourceLimits).
    • Root-Admin would have privilege to list and update resource limits.
    • Domain-Admin would have privilege to list resources and update resource limits that are assigned to the domain.

    3. Limits imposed on Domain D1 should be imposed on sub-domain SD1 as well.
    4. Root/Domain-Admin update CPU to 10 for Project P1 having account A1 . Users belonging to Project P1 should not be able to use more CPUs than the defined limit.

2. Amount of RAM:

    1. Root/Domain-Admin update RAM to 1GB for domain D1. Users belonging to Domain D1 should not be able to use more than that.
    2. Root/Domain-Admin update RAM to 1GB for Account A1 in Domain D1. Users belonging to Account A1 should not be able to use more than that. Also, they should not cross RAM limit defined for D1 domain.
    3. Limits imposed on Domain D1 should be imposed on sub-domain SD1 as well.
    4. Root/Domain-Admin update RAM to 1GB for Project P1 having account A1. Users belonging to Project P1 should not be able to use more RAM than the defined limit.

3. Amount of Primary Storage:

    1. Root/Domain-Admin update primary storage to 5GB for domain D1. Users belonging to Domain D1 should not be able to use more than that.
    2. Root/Domain-Admin update primary storage to 5GB for Account A1 in Domain D1. Users belonging to Account A1 should not be able to use more than that. Also, they should not cross primary storage limit defined for D1 domain.
