Setting ResourceQuota

The ResourceQuota of a namespace is used in scenarios where multiple teams or users share cluster resources. It limits the total amount of resources available to teams or users. For example, it limits the total amount of specific types of objects (container and service) that can be created and the total amount of compute resources (CPU and memory) in a namespace.

Usage instructions

If you do not specify a ResourceQuota for a namespace, workloads deployed in the namespace can use computing, GPU, storage, and other cluster resources without limitation.

Prerequisites

A namespace has been created in the VKE cluster. For instructions, see Creating namespaces.

Procedure

Click Cluster in the left navigation bar.

On the Cluster page, click the name of the target cluster.

In the left navigation bar of the cluster management page, click Namespace.

In the namespace list, find the target namespace and click ... > Set ResourceQuota in the Actions column.

Set ResourceQuota for the namespace, such as CPU requests, memory requests, CPU limits, and memory limits.

Type	Name	Description
Compute ResourceQuota	CPU request	Specify the upper limit for the total CPU requests of all pods in the running or waiting state in the namespace.
		Memory request	Specify the upper limit for the total memory requests of all pods in the running or waiting state in the namespace.
		CPU limit	Specify the upper limit for the total CPU of all pods in the running or waiting state in the namespace.
		Memory limit	Specify the upper limit for the total memory of all pods in the running or waiting state in the namespace.
GPU ResourceQuota	GPU quota	Specify the maximum total number of GPUs on all nodes in the namespace.
GPU ResourceQuota		mGPU quota	[Public beta] Specify the maximum total number of mGPUs that containers can share across all nodes in the namespace.
Storage ResourceQuota	Total amount of storage requests	Specify the upper limit for the total storage resource requests of all PVCs in the namespace.
Storage ResourceQuota		Number of PersistentVolumeClaims	Specify the maximum number of PVCs in the namespace.
Other ResourceQuota	Number of Pods	Specify the maximum total number of pods in the running or waiting state in the namespace.
		Number of Secrets	Specify the maximum number of Secrets in this namespace.
		Number of ConfigMaps	Specify the maximum number of ConfigMaps in the namespace.
		Number of Services	Specify the maximum number of services in the namespace.

After the configuration is complete, click Confirm.

After you set ResourceQuota for the namespace, find the target namespace in the namespace list. Click View details in the ResourceQuota column to view the ResourceQuota information and resource usage.

tip

If you set ResourceQuota using kubectl or the native Kubernetes API (not via the console), ensure the names of ResourceQuota and Namespace are consistent. Otherwise, you won't be able to view ResourceQuota details after clicking View details in the console.
