How to Request More Tenant Quota

This guide explains how to request additional quota for a tenant in meshStack-managed private cloud platforms.

What is Tenant Quota?​

Tenant quotas control the amount of resources (CPU, memory, storage, etc.) a tenant can consume within a platform. Quotas help ensure fair usage and prevent resource exhaustion.

For more details, see the Tenant Concept.

When to Request More Quota​

  • Your tenant needs more resources than currently allocated (e.g., for new workloads or scaling up).
  • You receive quota limit errors when deploying or operating workloads.
  • Your organization is planning a project that requires additional capacity.

How to Request More Tenant Quota​

  1. Identify the Tenant

    • Navigate to the relevant workspace and project in meshPanel.
    • Select the tenant for which you need more quota.

  2. Review Current Quota

    • On the tenant details page, review the current quota allocations (CPU, memory, storage, etc.).

  3. Initiate a Quota Increase Request

    • If your meshStack instance supports self-service quota requests, look for an option such as "Request More Quota" or "Adjust Quota" on the tenant details page.
    • Fill in the required information, specifying the new quota values and the reason for the request.
    • Submit the request. It may require approval from platform engineers or administrators.

    If self-service is not available:

    • Contact your platform engineer or meshStack support (e.g., via support@meshcloud.io) with the tenant name, current quota, requested new quota, and justification.

  4. Approval and Implementation

    • Platform engineers will review the request and adjust the quota as appropriate.
    • meshStack will replicate and enforce the new quota as part of the tenant's desired state.

After the Quota Change​

  • The new quota will be visible on the tenant details page once applied.
  • meshStack will ensure the tenant remains within the new limits.
  • If you encounter issues, contact support or your platform engineer.

Troubleshooting & Best Practices​

  • Plan Ahead: Anticipate resource needs and request quota increases in advance.
  • Provide Justification: Clearly explain why more quota is needed to speed up approval.
  • Monitor Usage: Regularly review tenant usage to avoid unexpected limits.
