Service Overview

Quota Service is a service that manages the maximum number of resources, tasks, or items (quotas) set for each service within an account. Quota is a limit set to ensure high availability and stability for customers and to prevent unintended overuse. For example, the number of Virtual Server instances, the number of buckets, and similar resources fall under this. Through the Quota Service, you can view these quotas in one place and request an increase when needed.

Types of quotas:

• Default Quota (Default Quota): The initial value set by Samsung Cloud Platform for each service.
• Applied Quota: the increased value requested by the user (applied upon approval).
• Adjustability (Adjustable): Some quotas can be increased upon request, while others are fixed.

Features

We provide the following special features.

• Centralized Management: You can manage more than 100 service quota items from a single console (e.g., Virtual Server, VPC, Firewall, etc.).
• Integration with other services: You can smoothly request and process quota increase requests through Support (some are auto-approved).
• Scalability and Flexibility: You can manage quotas finely from account-level quotas to region-level quotas, and adjustable quotas can scale with business growth.
• Cost Efficiency: Quota Service has no additional cost, and by managing quotas in advance, it can prevent cost increases caused by unintended excessive resource usage.

Provided features

We provide the following features.

• Quota lookup and detailed information provision: Check each service’s default quota, applied quota, and whether it can be adjusted, and display quotas separately for region-level and account-level.
• Quota Increase Request: Through the Console, you can process quota increase requests in a single interface, and track and manage request statuses (Pending, Approved, Denied).
• History and Analysis: You can review past quota increase request records and usage trends to inform resource planning and optimization.
