Open Stack

On a large cloud you're protect against this to some extent if the number of servers is >> number of instances in the quota.

However it does feel that there are a couple of things missing to really provide some better protection:


-          A quota value on the maximum size of a server group

-          A policy setting so that the ability to use service-groups can be controlled on a per project basis

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Nova] Hosts within two Availability Zones : possible or not ?

"Abusive usage" : If user can request anti-affinity VMs, then why doesn't he uses that? This will result in user constantly requesting all his VMs being in the same anti-affinity group. This makes scheduler choose one physical host per VM. This will quickly flood the infrastructure and mess up with the objective of admin (e.g. Consolidation that regroup VM instead of spreading, spared hosts, etc) ; at some time it will be reported back that there is no host available, which appears as a bad experience for user.

I'm sorry, could you explain what you mean here by 'abusive usage'?
