Quota
⏱️ Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
Overview
The Quota feature in the Webberstop Cloud Portal provides users with a clear and organized view of their resource limits and current usage across different datacenters. This allows for proactive infrastructure planning, efficient resource utilization, and a streamlined way to request increases when scaling is required.
Viewing Your Quota
To view your current resource quota:
-
Navigate to the Quota section from the portal sidebar.
-
You’ll be presented with a detailed table displaying your quota usage across all configured datacenters.
Each row in the table provides insights into key resource metrics, such as:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Resource | Type of resource (e.g., Memory, CPU, SSD Storage, IP Addresses, Virtual Machines, VM Autoscale, etc.) |
| Limit | The maximum allowed value for each resource type |
| Usage | The current amount of the resource in use |
| Available | The remaining amount available for use (Limit - Usage) |
| Requested | Any additional resources you've requested |
| Request Status | The status of any pending quota increase requests |
| Action | A link to Request To Increase a specific resource quota |
This table offers a centralized way to monitor and manage your resource allocations for each location, such as Athens, Greece, or other datacenters you may use.
Requesting a Quota Increase
If you're approaching your resource limits and need additional capacity, follow these steps to submit a request:
-
In the Quota section, click Request To Increase next to the resource you wish to expand.
-
A form will appear with the following fields:
- Current Limit: Displays your existing quota for that resource.
- Desired Limit: Enter the new limit you're requesting.
-
Click Send Request to submit.
Your request will then appear as Pending, and the Webberstop support team will review it.
Request Review & Notifications
- While under review, the Request Status will remain in a pending state.
- You will receive a notification in your user profile once your request has been approved or denied.
- Approved quotas are automatically reflected in your dashboard.
It’s a best practice to submit quota increase requests in advance of high-demand periods or planned scaling events to avoid service interruptions.
