Understanding Organization quotas
Reviewed on 10 April 2024 • Published on 10 February 2021
Every Organization has quotas, which are limits on the number of Scaleway resources they can use. Below is a list of quotas available for each resource.
At Scaleway, quotas are applicable per Organization.
Note
If you have already validated your payment method and your identity and want to increase your quota beyond the values shown on this page, contact our support team.
Identity and Access Management
Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows you to share access to the management of your Scaleway resources, in a controlled and secure manner.
| Payment method validated | Payment method and identity validated | |
|---|---|---|
| API keys | 100 | 100 |
| Applications | 50 | 50 |
| Groups | 50 | 50 |
| Policies | 50 | 50 |
| Users | 50 | 50 |
Important
Contact our support team if you want to increase your quotas for IAM.
Projects
Project is Scaleway's resource management feature. Designed to help you organize your infrastructure and cloud services, the feature allows resources to be isolated and grouped into specific projects.
| Payment method validated | Payment method and identity validated | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum number of Projects in an Organization | 25 | 25 |
Important
Contact our support team if you want to increase your quotas for Projects.
SSH keys
An SSH Key (Secure Shell Key) allows passwordless connection to an Instance.
| Payment method validated | Payment method and identity validated | |
|---|---|---|
| SSH keys allowed | 50 | 50 |
SMTP
By default, remote email ports (25, 465, 587) are blocked, and cannot be reached from our infrastructure to avoid spam. You need to open the mail ports to send emails. You can enable them from the security group configuration.
| Payment method validated | Payment method and identity validated | |
|---|---|---|
| SMTP allowed | Validate your identity | Yes |
Instances
An Instance is a computing unit, either virtual or physical, that provides resources to run your applications on. Currently Scaleway offers the following Instance types: General Purpose, Development, GPU, Stardust and Enterprise.
Important
Quotas are applied manually for Enterprise (ENT) range Instances to Organizations that have their identity validated. Contact our support team.
