Increase quotas and create quota templates - PrivateLink

You can perform the following operations to manage PrivateLink quotas: view quotas and quota usage, apply to increase quotas, and create quota templates. This topic describes how to manage PrivateLink quotas by using the Quota Center console and the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) console.

Background information

The Quota Center console allows you to manage the quotas of various Alibaba Cloud services in a centralized manner. PrivateLink and many other Alibaba Cloud services work with the Quota Center console. If you are using multiple Alibaba Cloud services and want to manage the quotas of all your cloud services in one console, we recommend that you use the Quota Center console. Alternatively, you can individually manage PrivateLink quotas by using the quota management feature provided in the VPC console. If you do not need to manage the quotas of multiple cloud services in a centralized manner, you can manage PrivateLink quotas in the VPC console.

Limits

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

Create a quota template

In scenarios where a quota template is added and in the Enabled state, if new members are added to a resource directory, the system automatically applies the quota template to the new members. Existing members are not affected. 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.

Before you create a quota template, make sure that the following prerequisites 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.

You can add a quota to a quota template by using one of the following methods:

Log on to the Quota Center console and add a quota to a quota template. For more information, see Add a quota to a quota template.
Use the VPC console.
