Resource Quota

Note: Resource quota management is supported for Cloud Foundry, OpenStack, and Kubernetes based platforms.

Resource quotas control the amount of resources a tenant can consume within a platform, helping ensure fair usage and prevent resource exhaustion. Quotas typically limit usage such as CPU, memory, storage, or other platform-specific resources.

  • Quota Definition: Platform engineers can define resource quotas through meshStack using the landing zone and platform configuration in platform builder.
  • Quota Changes: Application teams can request additional resources or quota increases through the meshStack workspace manager.
  • Quota Approval: Platform engineers review and approve these requests based on resource availability via the tenant screen in the platform builder.
  • Quota Enforcement: meshStack replicates and enforces these quotas as part of the desired state, ensuring tenants remain within their allocated limits.

For details on requesting more quota, see How to Request More Tenant Quota.
