Creating a quota

After creating a project, the administrator can limit resources using the ResourceQuota object.

Using the CLIUsing the CLI

1. Create a file of the ResourceQuota resource, e.g., using the touch resourcequota.yaml command.

2. Open the file and paste the configuration below into it:

   Quota without scope

   Quota with scope

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: ResourceQuota
   metadata:
     name: example-quota
   spec:
     hard:
       requests.cpu: '2' # Requested CPUs: 2
       limits.cpu: '4'    # CPU limit: 4
       requests.memory: '1' # Requested RAM: 1 GB
       limits.memory: '10'   # RAM limit: 10 GB
       requests.nvidia.com/gpu: 1 # Requested GPUs: 1
   

   Note

   The quota will only be applied to pods with the priorityClassName: middle property.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: ResourceQuota
   metadata:
     name: priority-class-quota
   spec:
     hard:
       limits.cpu: '10' # CPU limit: 10
       limits.memory: '20' # RAM limit: 20 GB
       requests.cpu: '5' # Requested CPU: 5
       requests.memory: '10' # Requested RAM: 10 GB
     scopeSelector:
       matchExpressions:
         - scopeName: PriorityClass
           operator: In
           values:
             - middle
   

3. Apply the manifest: kubectl apply -f resourcequota.yaml -n <project name>. Optionally, you can specify the project name in the metadata.namespace resource property and skip it in the command.

Using the management consoleUsing the management console

1. If you have not opened a project yet, select one.
2. Go to the Quotas tab on the project description page.
3. Click Add quota.
4. Enter a name for the quota.
5. Specify values for the limits.cpu and requests.cpu fields or select other resources.
6. To apply the quota to the entire project, delete the text from the Scope field. Otherwise, the quota will only be applied to pods with the priorityClassName: middle property. Optionally, instead of deleting the text, you can change the scope to what is required to apply the quota.
