Manage SSL-VPN quotas - VPN Gateway - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Alibaba Cloud lets you view and manage quotas of your Alibaba Cloud services. You can manage quotas, such as querying the usage information about quotas and requesting quota increases. This topic describes how to manage SSL-VPN quotas, including increasing a quota and creating a quota template.

Background information

Quota Center lets you 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. If you do not need to manage the quotas of multiple cloud services in a centralized manner, you can manage SSL-VPN quotas in the VPC console.

Prerequisite

By default, only Alibaba Cloud accounts are authorized to manage quotas in Quota Center. For RAM users to manage quotas, you must grant RAM users the AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission.

Increase quotas

If the default value of an adjustable quota item cannot meet your business requirements, you can request a quota increase using one of the following methods:

Go to the Quota Center console and request a quota increase.
Go to the VPC console and request an increase.

The quota items and the results of operations are the same in the Quota Center console and the virtual private cloud (VPC) management console.

Increase quotas in the VPC console

You can request increases only for general quotas. To request an increase for a general quota, perform the following steps:

Log on to the VPC console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose O&M and Monitoring > Quota Management.
On the Quota Management page, click the VPN Gateway tab in the Service section.
In the Quota Type section, click the General Quota tab.
Find the target general quota and perform one of the following operations.
- If the Apply button is available in the Actions column, click Apply in the Actions column and follow Step 6 and Step 7.
- If the Apply button is unavailable in the Actions column, follow the on-screen instructions in the Actions column.
In the Apply for Quotas dialog box, set Applied Quotas and Reason, and then click OK.
Note
- Quota increase requests are reviewed by the technical support team of each Alibaba Cloud service. To increase the likelihood of approval, provide a reasonable quota value and a detailed reason in your request.
- The result of your request is sent to you by text message and email.
Alibaba Cloud evaluates your request based on the information you provide and then approves or denies it.
After you submit the request, you can click Application Records in the Actions column to view the approval status.
If the Status of the request is Approved, the quota is increased.

Create a quota template

If a quota template is Enabled and you have joined it, the template automatically submits quota increase requests for new members that are added to your resource directory by the management account. Quotas for existing members are not affected. A quota template lets you request increases for multiple quota items at once, which improves the efficiency and automation of quota management for your entire organization.

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

You are logged on as a management account.
You have enabled Resource Directory. For more information, see Enable a resource directory.
You have enabled quota templates. For more information, see Enable quota templates.
