Quotas and limits

This document contains the limits and request quotas that apply to Managed Service for Microsoft Active Directory.

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
  • Restricts your consumption of those resources
  • Provides a means to request changes to the quota value

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 limits on Managed Microsoft AD resources. These limits are unrelated to the quota system. Limits cannot be changed unless otherwise stated.

Quotas

Quota Value
Requests 60 requests per minute per project

Additionally, because Managed Microsoft AD uses Cloud DNS, the quotas for Cloud DNS also apply.

Check your quotas

To check the current quotas for resources in your project, go to the Quotas page in the Google Cloud console.

Limits

Limit Value Notes
Google-managed Microsoft AD domains per project 2 To increase this limit, contact Google Cloud Support.
Regions per domain 4

Additionally, because Managed Microsoft AD uses VPC Network Peering, the VPC Network Peering limits also apply.
