Chapter 15. Resource Quotas and Limits

Whenever you interact with OpenShift, you will perform actions as a specific user. If you are deploying applications, your actions will be carried out in the context of a project. You cannot just do anything you like, though. Controls exist around what you can do, as well as how many resources you can consume.

Quotas on resource objects control how many projects you create, how many applications you can deploy, or how many persistent volumes you can use. A quota can also be specified that limits the maximum amount of memory or CPU you can use across all your applications. Limit ranges can further control how you use memory or CPU by dictating how much an individual application can use.

Within any limit ranges defined, you can specify how much memory or CPU an application actually requires. This allows you to partition up your overall memory and CPU quotas to make best use of the available resources to deploy as many different applications or instances as you can. Defining how much memory and CPU your application requires also helps the OpenShift scheduler to work out the best place to run your application.

In this chapter you will learn about the quotas and limits that control how many resources a project and application can consume. You will also learn about how to specify how much memory and CPU your application needs.
