System and method for compartment quotas in a cloud infrastructure environment
Granted: May 9, 2023
Patent Number:
11646975
Systems and methods described herein support compartment quotas in a cloud infrastructure environment. Cloud administrators do not generally have the ability to restrict resource usage in existing clouds. Granting a user permission to create resources allows them to create any number of resources up to a predefined account limit. Compartment quotas allow admins to restrict a user's resource usage to the appropriate level allowing fine-tuned cost control.
