Numspot Quotas

Quotas are limits set by default on the resources that you can create in Numspot Cloud. These limits help prevent any abusive or unexpected use of resources and ensure the performance and stability of the infrastructure.

Types of quotas

There are two types of quotas in Numspot:

  • Soft quotas: these are limits that can be increased on request without any service interruption;
  • Hard quotas: these are limits that cannot be exceeded and that require special authorization to be increased.

Obtaining information about your quotas

You can view the quotas of your Numspot account at any time using the Numspot administration console or the Numspot API.

To view the quotas using the Numspot administration console:

  1. Log in to the Numspot administration console.
  2. Click your username in the top-right corner of the console, then select "My account".
  3. Click the "Quotas" tab.

Here are some of the resources and their associated quotas:

  • Compute power:
    • the maximum number of VM (Virtual Machine) that you can launch;
    • the maximum number of vCPU (virtual Central Processing Unit) that you can use for all your resources;
    • the maximum amount of RAM that you can use for all your resources (in gibibytes);
    • the maximum number of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) that you can allocate to your account.
  • Security:
    • the maximum number of load balancers that you can create;
    • the maximum number of listener rules for the load balancers;
    • the maximum number of customer master key that you can create.
  • Public IP:
    • the maximum number of public IP (EIP) that you can allocate to your account.
  • Storage:
    • the maximum number of volume that you can use for all your resources;
    • the maximum cumulative size of standard, gp2 and io1 volume that you can create (in gibibytes);
    • the maximum number of IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) provided by provisioned IOPS volume (io1 volume only);
    • the maximum number of snapshots that you can create from your volume.
  • VPC:
    • the maximum number of VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) that you can create.
  • Internet services:
    • the maximum number of internet gateways that you can create;
    • the maximum number of nat gateways that you can create;
    • the maximum number of VPC endpoint that you can create.
  • Virtual Gateway:
    • the maximum number of virtual gateways that you can create.
  • Client Gateway:
    • the maximum number of client gateways that you can create.

To view the quotas using the Numspot API, you can use the ReadAccount command, which returns the information about your account, including the quotas.

How to increase quotas

If you need to increase the quotas of your account, you can contact the Numspot support team by creating a support ticket from the Numspot administration console. In your request, specify the quotas that you want to increase and the reason for your request. The Numspot support team will review your request and inform you whether or not it can be approved.
