Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for managing resource provider service quotas in a cloud-computing environment are provided. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods managing service quotas for resource provider services in a cloud-computing environment. Resource provider services may include virtual machines, websites, text messages and storage. Embodiments of the invention provide single, consistent and cohesive application programming interface to manage quotas across various resource provider services, administrators, billing applications and tenants. Options can be provided to administrators and tenants to adjust tenant plan subscriptions through adding additional resource provider services, creating subscriptions and deleting subscription. A quota management service using application programming interfaces provides feedback to the administrators and tenants on quota violations or inconsistencies with tenants or tenant plans.

Abstract: An application program interface through which a hoster of a cloud computing environment may facilitate (e.g., create, provision and/or manage) services in their cloud computing environment. Also, a user interface that is configurable to interface with different cloud computing environments that have different hosters. For instance, once cloud computing environment might be a private cloud and the other a public cloud. Yet, the user interface permits a user to interface with each cloud computing environment in a consistent way.
