The nova.quota Module

Quotas for instances, and floating ips.

class AbsoluteResource(name, flag=None)

Bases: nova.quota.BaseResource

Describe a non-reservable resource.

valid_method = 'check'

class BaseResource(name, flag=None)

Bases: object

Describe a single resource for quota checking.

default

Return the default value of the quota.

quota(driver, context, **kwargs)

Given a driver and context, obtain the quota for this resource.

Parameters:

• driver – A quota driver.
• context – The request context.
• project_id – The project to obtain the quota value for. If not provided, it is taken from the context. If it is given as None, no project-specific quota will be searched for.
• quota_class – The quota class corresponding to the project, or for which the quota is to be looked up. If not provided, it is taken from the context. If it is given as None, no quota class-specific quota will be searched for. Note that the quota class defaults to the value in the context, which may not correspond to the project if project_id is not the same as the one in the context.

class CountableResource(name, count, flag=None)

Bases: nova.quota.AbsoluteResource

Describe a resource where the counts aren’t based solely on the project ID.

class DbQuotaDriver

Bases: object

Driver to perform necessary checks to enforce quotas and obtain quota information. The default driver utilizes the local database.

limit_check(context, resources, values, project_id=None, user_id=None)

Check simple quota limits.

For limits–those quotas for which there is no usage synchronization function–this method checks that a set of proposed values are permitted by the limit restriction.

This method will raise a QuotaResourceUnknown exception if a given resource is unknown or if it is not a simple limit resource.

If any of the proposed values is over the defined quota, an OverQuota exception will be raised with the sorted list of the resources which are too high. Otherwise, the method returns nothing.

Parameters:

• context – The request context, for access checks.
• resources – A dictionary of the registered resources.
• values – A dictionary of the values to check against the quota.
• project_id – Specify the project_id if current context is admin and admin wants to impact on common user’s tenant.

reserve(context, resources, deltas, expire=None, project_id=None, user_id=None)

Check quotas and reserve resources.

For counting quotas–those quotas for which there is a usage synchronization function–this method checks quotas against current usage and the desired deltas.

This method will raise a QuotaResourceUnknown exception if a given resource is unknown or if it does not have a usage synchronization function.

If any of the proposed values is over the defined quota, an OverQuota exception will be raised with the sorted list of the resources which are too high. Otherwise, the method returns a list of reservation UUIDs which were created.

Parameters:

• context – The request context, for access checks.
• resources – A dictionary of the registered resources.
• deltas – A dictionary of the proposed delta changes.
• expire – An optional parameter specifying an expiration time for the reservations. If it is a simple number, it is interpreted as a number of seconds and added to the current time; if it is a datetime.timedelta object, it will also be added to the current time. A datetime.datetime object will be interpreted as the absolute expiration time. If None is specified, the default expiration time set by –default-reservation-expire will be used (this value will be treated as a number of seconds).
• project_id – Specify the project_id if current context is admin and admin wants to impact on common user’s tenant.
• user_id – Specify the user_id if current context is admin and admin wants to impact on common user.

Note: this does not affect the currently outstanding reservations the user has; those reservations must be committed or rolled back (or expired).

Parameters:

• context – The request context, for access checks.
• resources – A list of the resource names for which the usage must be reset.
