Overview

K8SaaS enforces per-project cluster quotas independent of compute quotas. A cluster quota limits the total number of clusters a project can create. Cluster nodes also consume compute quota (vCPU, RAM, and storage) — both quota systems must have sufficient headroom for cluster creation to succeed. This page covers setting K8SaaS quotas, monitoring usage, and coordinating limits across both services.
Prerequisites
  • Cloud administrator role
  • Project IDs for the projects you wish to quota

​
Default Quota

By default, K8SaaS applies a platform-wide quota of 20 clusters per project. Projects without an explicit quota record use this default.

​
Set a Project Quota

Navigate to Quotas

Log in to the Xloud Dashboard (https://connect.<your-domain>) and navigate to Admin → Containers → Quotas.

Create or edit quota

Click Create Quota and fill in:
FieldDescriptionExample
ProjectTarget projectproduction-team
Hard Limit (Clusters)Maximum clusters allowed10

Save

Click Create. The quota takes effect immediately for the selected project.
Project quota is set and visible in the quota list.

​
Compute Quota Coordination

K8SaaS cluster nodes consume compute resources. Use the following formula to estimate the compute quota needed for a project’s K8SaaS allocation: 
Total vCPU needed = (master_flavor_vcpu × master_count + worker_flavor_vcpu × worker_count) × max_clusters
Total RAM needed  = (master_flavor_ram_gb × master_count + worker_flavor_ram_gb × worker_count) × max_clusters
Example: 5 clusters × (3 masters × 8 vCPU + 6 workers × 4 vCPU) = 5 × (24 + 24) = 240 vCPU
Check current project compute quota
openstack quota show --detail <project-id>
Increase compute quota for a project
openstack quota set \
  --cores 240 \
  --ram 491520 \
  <project-id>

​
Monitor Quota Usage

Navigate to Admin → Containers → Quotas to view current usage versus limit for all projects. Click a project to see individual cluster details.
