The Users tab is where a Cloud Admin will define the enterprises (or cloud tenants) that can use the Abiquo cloud. For example, for an enterprise creating a private cloud the enterprises will be departments, project teams or cost centers. For a service provider the enterprises will be customers of the cloud service (including resellers).
The Cloud Admin controls which datacenters the Enterprise can access. This enables them to exert more control over the Infrastructure. And this information can be presented to the tenant so they can understand exactly where their applications and data are running.

When creating a new enterprise, the Cloud Admin can define exactly how that enterprise can use the infrastructure. So while the enterprise will have a self-service experience, the Cloud Admin remains in control and defines the boundaries of what the enterprise can do.
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. The Cloud Admin can also exert granular control by defining allocation limits at the level of a datacenter, or even a virtual datacenter. Tenant Admins can also set limits for virtual datacenters.
The Soft Limit defines the point where the platform can issue a warning. In a self-service world this will be a decision point for the user. Do they need to request more resources, 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.

To set limits based on the business agreement with the enterprise holder: The platform will display a warning when the tenant reaches a Soft limit and enterprise users will not be able to deploy VMs after the tenant reaches the Hard limits. You can create an integration with the event streaming API to perform additional actions when tenants reach either limit. An example of a basic integration is an event notifier. |
