Quotas

Unikraft Cloud enforces per-account resource quotas to govern how many instances, service groups, volumes, and compute resources you can provision.

The hard.live_instances field is a compatibility alias for hard.live_vcpus. It's kept for backward compatibility and the platform may drop it in a future API version. Prefer hard.live_vcpus.

Response structure

The response contains a top-level quotas array. Each element has three sections: used, hard, and limits.

`used`: Current resource usage

Field	Type	Description
`instances`	int	Total number of instances (stopped + running).
`live_instances`	int	Number of currently running instances.
`live_vcpus`	int	Number of vCPUs in use across running instances.
`live_memory_mb`	int	Memory (MB) in use across running instances.
`service_groups`	int	Number of allocated service groups.
`services`	int	Number of allocated services (published ports).
`volumes`	int	Number of allocated volumes.
`total_volume_mb`	int	Total volume storage in use (MB).

`hard`: Maximum allowed allocations

Field	Type	Description
`instances`	int	Maximum number of instances.
`live_vcpus`	int	Maximum vCPUs running simultaneously.
`live_memory_mb`	int	Maximum memory (MB) running simultaneously.
`service_groups`	int	Maximum number of service groups.
`services`	int	Maximum number of services.
`volumes`	int	Maximum number of volumes.
`total_volume_mb`	int	Maximum total volume storage (MB).

`limits`: Per-resource range constraints

These define the minimum and maximum values you can specify when creating individual resources.

Field	Type	Description
`min_memory_mb`	int	Minimum memory (MB) per instance.
`max_memory_mb`	int	Maximum memory (MB) per instance.
`min_vcpus`	int	Minimum vCPUs per instance.
`max_vcpus`	int	Maximum vCPUs per instance.
`min_volume_mb`	int	Minimum volume size (MB).
`max_volume_mb`	int	Maximum volume size (MB).
`min_autoscale_size`	int	Minimum autoscale group size.
`max_autoscale_size`	int	Maximum autoscale group size.
