<div> </div>Sergio, I'm reposting this in a new thread since this isn't about quota templates. Also I'm posting it to both operators and the development list. I think we need feedback from both.<div><br></div>
<div><div>Hopefully we can get some discussion here on:</div><div>1. In what ways does the current quota system not work for you? (Operations)</div><div>2. Are there other ways to improve / change the quota system? And do these address #1?</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>My hope is that we can make some small improvements that have the possibility of landing in the Juno phase.</div><div><br></div><div>As clarification for anyone reading the above blueprint, this came out of the operators summit and a thread on the operators mailing list [1]. This blueprint defines quotas on the number of a particular flavor that a user or project may have, e.g. "3 m1.medium and 1 m1.large instances please". The operational need for such quotas is discussed in the mailing list. </div>
<div><br></div><div>There is another interpretation of "per-flavor-quotas", which would track the existing resources (CPUs, RAM, etc) but do it on a per-flavor basis. As far as I know, there is no blueprint for this, but it was suggested in the review and on IRC. For clarity, we could call this proposal "quota resources per flavor".</div>
<div><br></div><div>There's also a blueprint for extensible resource tracking (which I think is part of the quota system), which has some interesting ideas. It is more focused on closing the gap between flavor extra-specs and resource usage / quotas. [2]</div>
