SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPARTMENT QUOTAS IN A CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380709 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPARTMENT QUOTAS IN A CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE ENVIRONMENT
The patent application describes systems and methods that enable compartment quotas in a cloud infrastructure environment, allowing cloud administrators to restrict resource usage for users.
- Cloud administrators lack the ability to limit resource usage in existing cloud environments.
- Users granted permission to create resources can currently create an unlimited number of resources up to a predefined account limit.
- Compartment quotas provide admins with the ability to restrict a user's resource usage to a specific level, enabling precise cost control.
Potential Applications: - Cloud service providers - IT departments managing cloud resources - Companies looking to control costs and resource allocation in the cloud
Problems Solved: - Lack of control over resource usage in cloud environments - Inefficient cost management due to unlimited resource creation permissions
Benefits: - Enhanced cost control in cloud environments - Improved resource allocation efficiency - Better management of cloud infrastructure
Commercial Applications: Cloud service providers can offer compartment quotas as a premium feature for users looking to manage their resource usage more effectively, potentially increasing revenue and customer satisfaction.
Questions about Compartment Quotas: 1. How do compartment quotas differ from traditional resource allocation methods in cloud environments?
- Compartment quotas allow for more granular control over resource usage compared to traditional methods, enabling admins to set specific limits for individual users.
2. What impact can compartment quotas have on overall cost management in cloud environments?
- Compartment quotas can significantly improve cost management by preventing users from exceeding allocated resources, leading to more predictable expenses and better budgeting.
Original Abstract Submitted
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.
