Redis Quota

The redisquota adapter can be used to support Istio’s quota management system. It depends on a Redis server to store quota values.

This adapter supports the quota template.

Params

redisquota adapter supports the rate limit quota using either fixed or rolling window algorithm. And it is using Redis as a shared data storage.

Example configuration:

redisServerUrl: localhost:6379
connectionPoolSize: 10
quotas:
- name: requestcount.quota.istio-system
  maxAmount: 50
  validDuration: 60s
  bucketDuration: 1s
  rateLimitAlgorithm: ROLLING_WINDOW
  overrides:
  - dimensions:
      destination: ratings
      source: reviews
    maxAmount: 12
  - dimensions:
      destination: reviews
    maxAmount: 5
FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
quotasQuota[]

The set of known quotas. At least one quota configuration is required

No
redisServerUrlstring

Redis connection string <hostname>:<port number> ex) localhost:6379

No
connectionPoolSizeint64

Maximum number of idle connections to redis Default is 10 connections per every CPU as reported by runtime.NumCPU.

No

Params.Override

FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
dimensionsmap<string, string>

The specific dimensions for which this override applies. String representation of instance dimensions is used to check against configured dimensions. dimensions should not be empty

No
maxAmountint64

The upper limit for this quota override. This value should be bigger than 0

No

Params.Quota

FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
namestring

The name of the quota

No
maxAmountint64

The upper limit for this quota. max_amount should be bigger than 0

No
validDurationDuration

The amount of time allocated quota remains valid before it is automatically released. This is only meaningful for rate limit quotas. value should be 0 < validDuration

No
bucketDurationDuration

The bucketDuration will be ignored if rateLimitAlgorithm is FIXED_WINDOW value should be 0 < bucketDuration < validDuration

No
rateLimitAlgorithmQuotaAlgorithm

Quota management algorithm. The default value is FIXED_WINDOW

No
overridesOverride[]

Overrides associated with this quota. The first matching override is applied.

No

Params.QuotaAlgorithm

Algorithms for rate-limiting:

NameDescription
FIXED_WINDOW

FIXED_WINDOW The fixed window approach can allow 2x peak specified rate, whereas the rolling-window doesn’t.

ROLLING_WINDOW

ROLLING_WINDOW The rolling window algorithm’s additional precision comes at the cost of increased redis resource usage.
