Quotas for CPU, RAM and storage – billable without overhead

Combine resources to suit your needs – with usage-based billing and a central overview in the customer portal.

Significant cost savings

By committing to a set level of usage, centron users can reduce their expenditure on ccloud³ VMs and more by up to 30 per cent.

Automatic reduction of your bill

A quota is automatically applied to all eligible uses – costs are reduced without you having to take any manual action.

Innovate more quickly

Continue to benefit from cost savings whilst utilising the latest generations of ccloud³ VMs and advanced services.

How it works

You commit to a specific number of hours of resources over a period of one to three years – applicable to ccloud³ VMs, volumes, high availability and support.

Governance without checks and balances

Freedom for teams, security for the budget

Quotas enable self-service without compromising cost control: development teams can provision resources independently within defined limits, whilst finance managers retain an overview at all times. Combined with cReports, this produces reliable reports for management control and planning.

How much do quotas cost at centron?

Quotas are free with centron and form part of account management. You set how much budget or how many resources are available to a team, project or cost centre – and you’ll be notified as soon as a defined threshold is reached. This prevents the classic scenario where a forgotten test environment continues to run for weeks on end and is only revealed when the monthly invoice arrives. In conjunction with cReports, you can also see exactly what the budget was actually spent on. This is particularly relevant for organisations that allocate cloud costs internally.

Quotas FAQ

Everything you need to know about quotas

What are quotas?

A control tool in the centron Console that allows you to set budgets and resource limits for projects, teams or your entire account – including notifications when thresholds are reached.

What happens when a budget is reached?

It’s up to you: when thresholds are reached, the relevant personnel are notified first; depending on the configuration, further provisioning can be restricted to ensure that limits remain in place.

Can I set limits for individual resource types?

Yes. For example, limit the number of concurrent VMs, the amount of storage allocated or GPU usage per team – in line with the requirements of the respective projects.

How do I keep track of my consumption?

The console displays current consumption figures for each quota in real time. For more in-depth analyses and regular reports, combine quotas with cReports.

How much do quotas cost?

None – Quotas are an integral part of the centron Console and are available to all customers at no extra cost.
