Manage IPsec-VPN resource quotas - VPN Gateway - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Alibaba Cloud allows you to view and manage quotas of your Alibaba Cloud services. You can obtain usage information and apply for increases on quotas. This topic describes how to manage IPsec-VPN quotas, including increasing a quota and creating a quota template.

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 VPN Gateway. 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, VPN Gateway also provides the Quota Management page in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) console. Alternatively, you can individually manage IPsec-VPN quotas by using the quota management feature provided in the VPC console.

Prerequisites

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

Most of the quotas provided are adjustable. If the default quota is unable to meet your business requirements, you can apply for a quota increase by using one of the following methods:

Use the Quota Center console. For more information, see Request a quota increase.
Use the VPC console.

If the application is approved, the increased quota limit is displayed in the Quota Center console and VPC console.

Increase a quota in the VPC console

IPsec-VPN allows you to adjust only general quotas. The following content describes how to adjust general quotas.

Log on to the VPC console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose O&M and Monitoring > Quota Management.
On the Quota Management page, select VPN Gateway for the Service parameter.
Select General Quota for the Quota Type parameter.
Find the general quota that you want to manage and perform the following operations.
- If the Apply option is available in the Actions column, click Apply in the Actions column, and perform Step 6 and Step 7.
- If the Apply option is unavailable in the Actions column, perform the operations in the Actions column baaed on the on-screen instructions.
In the Apply for Quotas dialog box, configure the Applied Quotas and Reason parameters and click OK.
Note
- Applications are reviewed and approved by the technical support team for each cloud service. To increase the success rate of your application, specify a reasonable quota value and a detailed reason.
- Application results are sent to you by text message and email.
Alibaba Cloud evaluates your application based on the information that you provide and decides whether your application is approved or denied.
To view the status of the application, click Application Records in the Actions column.
If the application of a quota enters the Approved state in the Status column, the quota is increased.

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 improves the efficiency of quota management across your organization.

Before you create a quota template, make sure that the following requirements are met:

An enterprise administrator account is used to log on to the console.
A resource directory is enabled. For more information, see Enable a resource directory.
The quota template feature is enabled. For more information, see Enable the quota template feature.

Add a quota to a quota template in the Quota Center console

For more information, see Add a quota to a quota template.

Add a quota to a quota template in the VPC console

Log on to the VPC console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose O&M and Monitoring > Quota Management.
On the Quota Management page, select VPN Gateway for the Service parameter.
Select General Quota for the Quota Type parameter.
Find the quota that you want to manage and click Create Quota Template in the Actions column.
In the Create Quota Template dialog box, configure the Applied Quotas parameter and click OK.
