This document lists the quotas and system limits that apply to
Google Distributed Cloud connected.
Quotas specify the amount of a countable, shared resource that you
can use. Quotas are defined by Google Cloud services such as
Google Distributed Cloud connected.
System limits are fixed values that cannot be changed.
Google Cloud uses quotas to help ensure fairness and reduce
spikes in resource use and availability. A quota restricts how much of a
Google Cloud resource your Google Cloud project can use. Quotas
apply to a range of resource types, including hardware, software, and network
components. For example, quotas can restrict the number of API calls to a
service, the number of load balancers used concurrently by your project, or the
number of projects that you can create. Quotas protect the community of
Google Cloud users by preventing the overloading of services. Quotas also
help you to manage your own Google Cloud resources.
The Cloud Quotas system does the following:
Monitors your consumption of Google Cloud products and services
In most cases, when you attempt to consume more of a resource than its quota
allows, the system blocks access to the resource, and the task that
you're trying to perform fails.
Quotas generally apply at the Google Cloud project
level. Your use of a resource in one project doesn't affect
your available quota in another project. Within a Google Cloud project, quotas
are shared across all applications and IP addresses.
There are also system limits on Distributed Cloud connected resources.
System limits can't be changed.
Your use of Google Distributed Cloud connected is governed by the following
types of quotas:
Rate quotas determine how quickly you can call the
Distributed Cloud Edge Container API as well as create and access
Distributed Cloud connected resources.
Resource quotas determine the total amount of
Distributed Cloud resources that you can create within
your Google Cloud project.
For more information about working with quotas, including steps for increasing
them and for setting up monitoring and alerting on quota metrics, see
the Cloud Quotas documentation.
Rate quotas
The following table lists the rate quotas for
Distributed Cloud connected.
Quota
Default limit
Description
API requests
1200 per minute

Google Cloud regions
API requests
600 per minute
All requests to the Distributed Cloud Edge Container API for a
specific Google Cloud region
Resource quotas
The following table lists the resource quotas for
Distributed Cloud connected.
Quota
Default limit
