<div dir="ltr">Adding the Operators list to this since I think they will have some useful comments.<div><br></div><div>My experience is that the current Nova quotas are not entirely useful. In our environment we have a limited number of machines with 32 cores and 1TB of ram (tens), and a large number with 8 cores and 32GB of ram (hundreds). Aside from limits on the # of instances, the quota system would see the use of 32 small machines as equivalent to the use of one big machine. Economically and operationally these to cases are very different.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">I’d like to know your thoughts regarding Quota Management… I’ve been contributing to this topic for icehouse and noticed some issues and discussions around its implementation like code is duplicated, synch problems
with database, not having an homogeneous logic, etc… so I was thinking that maybe a centralized implementation could be a solution for this… As far as I know there was a discussion during the last summit and the decision was to use Keystone for a Centralized
Quota Management solution but I don’t have the details on that discussion… Also I was looking at Boson (<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Boson" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1f497d;text-decoration:none">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Boson</span></a>) that
seems to be a nice solution for this and also addresses the scenario where Nova is deployed in a multi-cell manner and some other interesting things.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></span></p>
