Cloud Enterprise Network:Manage CEN quotas

Background information

Quota Center allows you to manage the quotas of various Alibaba Cloud services in a centralized manner. Quota Center is integrated with multiple Alibaba Cloud services, including CEN. If you are using multiple Alibaba Cloud services and want to manage the quotas of all your cloud services in one console, you can use Quota Center.

In addition to Quota Center, you can also manage CEN quotas on the Quotas page in the CEN console. Alternatively, you can individually manage CEN quotas by using the quota management feature provided in the CEN console.

Prerequisites

By default, only the Alibaba Cloud account is authorized to manage quotas in Quota Center. If you want to allow Resource Access Management (RAM) users to manage quotas, you must grant the AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission to the RAM users. For more information, see Authorize a RAM user.

        Applications are reviewed and approved by the technical support team for each cloud service. When you apply for a quota increase, provide as much information as possible.

Create a quota template

If a quota template is enabled and the administrator account adds a member to the resource directory, the quota template automatically submits a quota increase request for the member. The quota values for existing members remain unchanged. You can use a quota template to apply for increases on multiple quotas at the same time. This automated approach can improve the efficiency of quota management across your organization.
