Jay S. Bryant 6b267bf55b Migrate Cinder CLI Quota docs
Another riveting chapter in the Cinder docs migration!

This patch brings over the CLI Quota related documentation
from openstack-manuals. It includes how to set quotas
as well as the Cinder specific documentation.

As with the other patches, this is just intended to migrate
the content so it is once again accessible. Improvements/changes
to the documentation can come with follow-on patches.

Welcome to Cinder's developer documentation!

Cinder is an OpenStack project to provide "block storage as a service".

  • Component based architecture: Quickly add new behaviors
  • Highly available: Scale to very serious workloads
  • Fault-Tolerant: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
  • Recoverable: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
  • Open Standards: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api

This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Cinder and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki. Cloud administrators, refer to docs.openstack.org.
