There is no quota check for instance snapshot

[hossein zabolzadeh]

There is no quota check for snapshots getting from instances both via APIs and horizon. Imagine a situation in which a normal user can fill-out whole of the cinder(ceph) storage space by calling the get_instance_snapshot() API. But its need to control the amount of instance snapshots by defining instance-snapshot-quota.

How to reproduce?
1- In specific project, launch a new instance.
2- Set the project's quota all the way down(e.g. instances: 1, volume_snapshots: 0, ...).
3- Get snapshots from running instance as much as you can.

You see that there is no quota check and user can fill-out the whole of the storage space.

Refer to: http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide-admin/dashboard_set_quotas.html. There is really no quota for instance snapshots numbers or size.

Other guy had the same confusion: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openstack/operators/21353

Hi,

Is this fixed? or is there a workaround ?

Configure user_storage_quota in glance-api.conf

[Akihiro Motoki (amotoki)]

This bug is reported to horizon. As horizon, glance does not provide any quota information via API, so there is nothing that horizon can do.

The only way is to configure quota in glance configuration file (as Brian mentioned in the previous comment).

Based on the above, this is not a horizon bug and I am marking this as Invalid.
