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.

titleClick here to show/hide the task to: Create allocation limits for an enterprise

To set limits based on the business agreement with the enterprise holder:
1. Login as SysAdmin
2. Go to the Users view and select a specific enterprise
3. Edit the enterprise and select the Allocation limits tab
4. Set Hard limits to define the maximum resources that the enterprise can use to deploy virtual appliances/VMs, and set Soft limits for warning.

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.

This can be taken a stage further and the Cloud Admin can reserve physical infrastructure for an Enterprise. Perhaps they own part of the infrastructure, or they wish to take advantage of a Cloud service but do not want to share resources with other tenants. The reserved hardware is only available to the users in the enterprise that has been allocated the reservation of the hardware.  Reserve hardware BEFORE the enterprise deploys in the cloud.
