Global Accelerator:Manage GA quotas

Last Updated:Jan 16, 2024

Alibaba Cloud allows you to view and manage Global Accelerator (GA) quotas. You can obtain usage information, apply for increases on quotas, and create alert rules for quotas. This topic describes how to apply for increases on quotas and create quota templates for GA.

Background information

Quota Center allows you to manage the quotas of various Alibaba Cloud services in a centralized manner. GA and many other Alibaba Cloud services work with Quota Center. 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, GA also provides a Quota Management page in the console. Alternatively, you can individually manage GA quotas by using the quota management feature provided in the GA console.

Limits

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 first grant the RAM users the AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission. For more information, see Authorize a RAM user.

Create a quota template

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