Creating a New Capacity Request

Create a capacity request in OCI Control Center

As an entitled customer, you can create a capacity request for a specific amount of cloud resources such as CPU, virtual servers, or storage units. The OCI Control Center provides a dedicated interface to create a request and provide necessary details such as resource name, cloud region, available domain and the capacity handover date.

1. Open the navigation menu, click Governance and Administration, and then click Control Center.
2. Click Capacity Requests.
3. On the Capacity requests page, click Create capacity request.
4. In the Create capacity request panel, provide the following details:
  
  Select request type as New to create new capacity requests for resources. Other available request types are Transfer and Forecast.
  
  Select Compute as the namespace for the capacity request.
  
  Select a region.
  
  Provide a description for the capacity request.
  
  Specify an Availability domain.
  
  Select an expected capacity handover date. The date options are prefilled from the availability catalog.
5. After you specify the expected capacity handover date, provide details of the demand quantity for each resource.
  
  Note
  
  Demand quantity can't exceed the available quantity and total demand quantity can't exceed the capacity constraint.
6. Click Create and Submit.
  
  Note
  
  After you submit, OCI creates and assigns a name to the request and you can view the request details in the Capacity requests summary table.
