| 1 | +# Limit Ranges |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +In an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, containers run with unlimited compute resources. By using limit ranges, you can restrict the amount of resources consumed for the following objects within a project. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +- Pods/Containers: You can set minimum and maximum requirements for CPU and memory |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- Image Streams: You can set limits on the number of images and tags in an _ImageStream_ object |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- Images: You can limit the size of images that can be pushed to a registry |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Persistent Volume Claims (PVC): You can restrict the size of the PVCs that can be requested |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +A _LimitRange_ object allows you to restrict the amount of resources that can be consumed in a project. Any request that is made to create or modify a resource will be validated against any _LimitRange_ objects in the project. If any of the constraints listed in the _LimitRange_ object are violated, then the resource request is rejected. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Creating a Limit Range |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +To create a _LimitRange_ object you can follow the example below: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +``` |
| 20 | +apiVersion: "v1" |

| 56 | + min: |
| 57 | + storage: "2Gi" |
| 58 | + max: |
| 59 | + storage: "50Gi" |
| 60 | +``` |
