Summary

Migrates hashicorp/hvd-docs#396 into web-unified-docs now that Validated Designs content lives in this repository.

Content is ported as-is from the source PR. No substantive edits were made during migration.


What's included

  • New file: content/validated-designs/docs/docs/vault/administration-guide/resource-quotas.mdx
    New guide covering rate limit quotas and lease count quotas for Vault Enterprise platform operators. Includes quota type disambiguation, rate limit quota mechanics, Enterprise group_by modes, lease count quota guidance, operational guidance (audit logging, telemetry, response headers, exempt paths), common scenarios, and anti-patterns.

  • Edit: content/validated-designs/docs/docs/vault/administration-guide/monitoring-and-observability.mdx
    Appended cross-reference to the new resource quotas page in the "Usage patterns" section under Audit logs.


Source PR secondary edit not applied

The source PR also modified content/vault/operating-guides/scaling/0000-introduction.mdx to add resource quotas to the scaling guide checklist and use cases table. The equivalent file in web-unified-docs (administration-guide/introduction.mdx) was substantially rewritten for HVD 2.0 and no longer contains the maturity-phase checklist or table that the edit targeted. This edit has been intentionally omitted. A reviewer should decide whether a reference to resource quotas should be added to the current introduction.mdx prose.


Open items carried from source PR

⚠️ Needs-author (blocking): The Guard against lease growth on a dynamic secrets mount scenario's lease measurement workflow has been corrected from the original fabricated sys/internal/counters/activity example to use vault.expire.num_leases telemetry and vault list sys/leases/lookup/database/creds/. Please verify this is accurate for your Vault version.

⚠️ Needs-author (blocking): The 300,000 default global lease count quota figure is stated with (1.16 and later) version scoping. Please confirm this is the correct version or adjust.

ℹ️ Needs-human (scope decision): The Jira task (HVD-1752) explicitly requested a diagram. This page uses comparison tables but contains no visual. Please decide: (a) accept tables-only and open a follow-up for a diagram, (b) request a diagram before merge, or (c) note the gap and close.
