# Nomad Enterprise Resource Quotas

In [Nomad Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/products/nomad/), operators can
define quota specifications and apply them to namespaces. When a quota is
attached to a namespace, the jobs within the namespace may not consume more
resources than the quota specification allows.

This allows operators to partition a shared cluster and ensure that no single
actor can consume the whole resources of the cluster.
