OpenStack Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly) release.<\/a><\/h3>\n

OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new middleware for managing quotas: container_quotas and account_quotas. The first, container_quotas, allows users to specify a limit on one of their containers. The account_quotas is more the typical quota implementation. A \u00absuper user\u00bb with the reselleradmin group\/role can set a byte limit for an account and the account will not be able to have new objects\/containers until someone cleanups his account to get under the limited quotas.<\/p>\n
