At the heart of controlled self service are Allocation limits. These define how much of the compute, storage and networking resources the Enterprise can consume. Allocation limits can also be defined at the level of a datacenter, or even a virtual datacenter so that granular control can be exerted by the Cloud Admin. Tenant Admins can also set limits for virtual datacenters.
 
The Soft Limit defines the point where a warning can be issued. In a Self Service world this will be a decision point for the user. Do they need to request more resources from the Cloud Admin, or will they look at the resources they are consuming and realize that there are environments that are no longer being used. Perhaps these can be undeployed and those resources made available for new environments.
