Hi, I was trying to create a pool and learning how it works. But I find it isn't very useful.

Now, I can create a NFS unit and give full premisions for a client, and I can create multiple VPS in this NFS dedicated for only 1 customer. But it's more intereting to provide the possibility to my client to create his own VPS.


I think it would be much more interesting if it were possible to add a pool limit, then the CPU and RAM that a user has the ability to create their own virtual machines.
1 pool = 1 client.


For example, if I have a 16GB of RAM node, create a pool of 4GB of RAM and assign permissions for my client so he can create 4 VPS 1GB of RAM each.
16GB = 4 pools of 4GB RAM (example)

That is, to offer customers the ability to create their own VPS. A sort of "reseller".


Thank you.

Old thread but I haven't seen anything regarding adding CPU and RAM to a pool. IMO it would make sense to prevent certain pool users/admins to use up all RAM and CPU resources on the server. It would be nice to be able to say "You guys have 4 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores. You them anyway you like". Current system let's them define virtual machine that eats up all the resources available on the host.
 
Nice to hear that is in the TODO.
Also will be interesting to limit a pool to only use OpenVZ or only use KVM.

Thnks!
