The openstack octavia-project provides load-balancers. These load-balancers are realized by creating virtual machines with haproxy installed on them. As this is not free resource-wise we limit our projects to only allow a couple of loadbalancers. To show the current allowed amount of load-balancers a certain project can create the following command works:
$ openstack loadbalancer quota show DEMO_guide +----------------+-------+ | Field | Value | +----------------+-------+ | load_balancer | 5 | | listener | -1 | | pool | -1 | | health_monitor | -1 | | member | -1 | +----------------+-------+
This shows us that the project "DEMO_guide is allowed to create 5 load-balancers, with an unlimited amount of listeners/pools/monitors/members.
Modify loadbalancer-quota
To modify the quotas the following command is useful:
$ openstack loadbalancer quota set --loadbalancer 7 DEMO_guide +----------------+-------+ | Field | Value | +----------------+-------+ | load_balancer | 7 | | listener | -1 | | pool | -1 | | health_monitor | -1 | | member | -1 | +----------------+-------+
