Cloud Enterprise Network:Manage CEN quotas

Last Updated:Sep 18, 2023

Alibaba Cloud allows you to view and manage quotas of your Alibaba Cloud services. You can obtain usage information, apply for increases on quotas, and create quota templates. This topic describes the prerequisites and procedures for managing service quotas.

Background information

Quota Center allows you to manage the quotas of various Alibaba Cloud services in a centralized manner. Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) and many other Alibaba Cloud services work with Quota Center.

Alternatively, you can individually manage CEN quotas by using the quota management feature provided in the CEN console.

Create a quota template

If a quota template is enabled and the management 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 a time. This automated approach can improve the efficiency of quota management across your organization.
