Open Stack

Given that:

    1. OpenStack's APIs are meant to serve both public and private cloud needs,
    2. Per-tenant quotas are commonly requested/expected of Object Storage (as with the Compute and Volume services), and
    3. OpenStack's APIs are meant to have at least a modest level of commonality/parity,

I propose that the OpenStack Object Storage API specification should include Quota management.


A minimum quota spec would simply allow control for the total storage size (bytes), and could also include quotas for number of objects and/or number of containers. For parity with current behavior the default value could be "unlimited" (-1).


What do people think? Should this be moved forward via blueprints, etc?

All the best,
