VM limits

Administrators can now limit the number of VMs that a user can create at the tenant, tenant location, and virtual datacenter levels.

To restrict the number of VMs that an enterprise can create:

Go to Users → Enterprises → Edit enterprise → Allocation limits.
Enter the hard limit that the tenant cannot exceed and the soft limit that can provide a warning to administrators and users.

The platform will display the tenant's limit and current usage on the administrator's main dashboard (under Home → Metrics).

To restrict the number of VMs that a user can create in a location:

Go to Users → Enterprises → Edit enterprise → Allowed datacenters
Edit an allowed location that is a public cloud region or datacenter
Go to Allocation limits

This platform does not display this limit on the dashboard

If your platform is configured to display allowed locations by provider, to set default provider limits, edit the provider.

To limit the number of VMs in a virtual datacenter, go to Cloud virtual datacenters → Virtual datacenters → Edit virtual datacenter

The platform will display the limit and the usage on the main dashboard (under Home → Metrics), in accordance with user privileges.
