Open Stack

Massimo, Saverio,

We faced the same issue and have created patches for Horizon to display
- the per volume quota in the volume request panel, and also
- additional information about the volume type (like IOPS and throughput limits, intended usage etc.)

The patches will need some polishing before being sent upstream (I’ll need
need to cross-check with our Horizon experts), but we use them in prod since
quite a while and are happy to already share patch files if you’re interested.

Cheers,
 Arne
