Changing quotas
Quotas enable you to limit the ability to use the service. Quotas are managed through the offering items, which represent the set of services and service features.
The user account quotas are controlled via user account personal tenants.
There are two types of quotas:
- HardThe quota is considered “hard” when you set a quota overage. An overage allows to exceed the quota by the specified value. When the overage is exceeded, restrictions on using the service are applied.
- SoftThe quota is considered “soft” when you do not set a quota overage. This means that restrictions on using the backup service are not applied.
Warning
When changing storage quotas of partner or folder sub-tenants with multiple storages, some offering items may have the same name. See Changing storage quotas of partner sub-tenants.
In this procedure, the vms
and workstations
offering items of the advanced
edition will be used as an example.
To change quotas
Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.
The following variables should be available now:
>>> base_url # the base URL of the API '<the data center URL>/api/2' >>> auth # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'} >>> tenant_id # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
Fetch the UUID of the tenant which offering items and/or offering item quotas you want to modify:
To modify the quotas of a user account, use a personal tenant of the user account created via the API or find the user account and use its UUID to fetch the user account information and store its personal tenant UUID:
>>> tenant_id = created_user_personal_tenant_id >>> tenant_id 'e18a5b6f-5ba4-44b0-8b41-033148877aee'
To enable/disable or modify quotas of a sub-tenant, use the sub-tenant created via the API or find the sub-tenant and store its UUID:
>>> tenant_id = created_tenant_id >>> tenant_id '95303d96-628c-4265-9afa-07bee3fccf39'
Fetch the list of all offering items of the
advanced
for the tenant as described in Fetching available offering items. As the result, you must have a variable assigned with the list of all offering items available for the tenant:>>> offering_items = fetched_offering_items['items'] >>> pprint.pprint(offering_items) [{'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb', 'edition': 'advanced', 'locked': False, 'measurement_unit': 'quantity', 'name': 'adv_workstations', 'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': None, 'version': 0}, 'status': 1, 'type': 'count', 'usage_name': 'workstations'}, ... {'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb', 'edition': 'advanced', 'locked': False, 'measurement_unit': 'quantity', 'name': 'adv_vms', 'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': None, 'version': 0}, 'status': 1, 'type': 'count', 'usage_name': 'vms'}, ...]
Important
The quota limits are removed by setting the
value
(soft quota) and/oroverage
(hard quota) attributes toNone
.Setting the
value
(soft quota) to0
will set it to zero. This means that the offering item will not be available to the tenant since the quota will be already exceeded.Setting the
value
(soft quota) limit toNone
will reset theversion
to 0 and theoverage
toNone
.Disabled offering items do not have the
quota
object.
Iterate over the list of the offering items and set the soft quota for the
vms
to15
virtual machines and for theworkstations
to10
workstations.>>> for offering_item in offering_items: ... # Check if the offering item is enabled ... if offering_item['status']: ... if offering_item['usage_name'] == 'workstations': ... offering_item['quota']['value'] = 10 # measurement_unit - quantity ... elif offering_item['usage_name'] == 'vms': ... offering_item['quota']['value'] = 15 # measurement_unit - quantity
Define a variable named
updated_offering_items
, and then assign an object with theoffering_items
key with the list of offering items to this variable:>>> updated_offering_items = { ... 'offering_items': offering_items ... }
Convert the
updated_offering_items
object to a JSON text:>>> updated_offering_items = json.dumps(updated_offering_items, indent=4)
Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the
/tenants/{tenant_id}/offering_items
endpoint:>>> response = requests.put( ... f'{base_url}/tenants/{tenant_id}/offering_items', ... headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth}, ... data=updated_offering_items, ... )
Check the status code of the response:
>>> response.status_code 200
Status code 200 means that the quotas of the offering items have been changed.
Note
A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
Also, the response body contains the
items
array with the updated offering item, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:>>> pprint.pprint(response.json()) {'items': [{'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb', 'edition': 'advanced', 'locked': False, 'measurement_unit': 'quantity', 'name': 'adv_workstations', 'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': 10, 'version': 1565794018233}, 'status': 1, 'type': 'count', 'usage_name': 'workstations'}, ... {'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb', 'edition': 'advanced', 'locked': False, 'measurement_unit': 'quantity', 'name': 'adv_vms', 'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': 15, 'version': 1565794018233}, 'status': 1, 'type': 'count', 'usage_name': 'vms'}, ...]}
