Quota Management overview

Quota Management enables you to control how resources are allocated within your Cloudera AI Workbench on user and on team level.

In order to prevent a single session, job, or other workload from consuming all the available cluster resources, you can limit the number of CPUs, the amount of memory allocated by user, business units, or Data Service by defining resource pools that set resource limits.

Pools are organized in a hierarchical manner, defining nodes in a hierarchy based on resource limits.

To manage quotas, provision a workbench using a configured resource pool. Quota management is enabled by default. All newly created user resource pools will have an unset quota.

From Cloudera AI on premises 1.5.5 SP2, only the Administrator or the workbench owner can update the workbench resource pool quota from the Cloudera AI Workbench details page.
