### Hierarchical resource quotas (HRQs)
227+
228+
***Hierarchical resource quotas are beta in HNC v1.1***
229+
230+
When you want to give some amount of resources to `team-a`, and want them to be able to
231+
flexibly use resources in any of their subnamespaces, you create a `HierarchicalResourceQuota`
232+
in namespace `team-a`. The sum of all resources from all the subnamespaces of the
233+
members wont be over the amount of resources that is configured in
234+
`HierarchicalResourceQuota` of namespace `team-a`. All of the reasources of `team-a` are
235+
equally shared between the applications in their subnamespaces, which is very efficient.
236+
237+
In addition, you can let an org or team's admin create their own hierarchical
238+
quotas without violating the overall HRQ for their org or team. For example,
239+
if you start with the following structure:
240+
```
241+
company-a
242+
├── organization-a
243+
│ ├── org-a-team-1
244+
│ ├── org-a-team-2
245+
│ ...
246+
├── organization-b
247+
│ ├── org-b-team-1
248+
│ ├── org-b-team-2
249+
│ ...
250+
...
251+
```
252+
Instead of each team asking from the `cluster-admin` to modify their `ResourceQuota`,
253+
you can insert an additional "policy" namespace above each level to hold
254+
the policy objects (like hierarchical quota) that the sub-admin _cannot_
255+
change, while giving them permission to create their own quotas in the
256+
lower level namespaces, like this:
257+
```
258+
company-a-policy
259+
└── company-a
260+
```
261+
And put the resources HRQ in the `company-a-policy` namespace. This will restrict
262+
whole `company-a` to the amount of resources that they are paying for. Then `company-a`
263+
can do similar HRQ with their organizations:
264+
```
265+
company-a-policy (has HRQ)
266+
└── company-a
267+
├── org-a-policy (has HRQ)
268+
│ └── organization-a
269+
├── org-b-policy (has HRQ)
270+
│ └── organization-b
271+
...
272+
```
273+
Lower-level quotas cannot override more restrictive quotas from ancestor namespaces;
274+
the most restrictive quota always wins.
275+
This way each individual can fairly and securely distribute their resources across
276+
their members.
277+
278+
To implement hierarchical quotas, HNC automatically creates `ResourceQuota` objects in each
279+
affected namespace. This is a part of the internal implementation and shouldn't be modified or
280+
inspected. Use the `kubectl hns hrq` command to inspect hierarchical quotas,
281+
or look at the `HierarchicalResourceQuota` object in the ancestor
282+
namespaces.
283+
284+
Note: Decimal point values cannot be specified in HRQ (you can't do `cpu: 1.5` but you can do `cpu: "1.5"` or `cpu: 1500m`). See [#292](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces/issues/292)
