 # Quota Maintenance
 
-Kubernetes built-in `ResourceQuotas` should not be combined with Kueue quotas.
+A *team* in MLBatch is a group of users that share a resource quota.

+In Kueue, the `ClusterQueue` is the abstraction used to define a pool
+of resources (`cpu`, `memory`, `nvidia.com/gpu`, etc.) that is
+available to a team.  A `LocalQueue` is the abstraction used by
+members of the team to submit workloads to a `ClusterQueue` for
+execution using those resources.

+Kubernetes built-in `ResourceQuotas` should not be used for resources that
+are being managed by `ClusterQueues`. The two quota systems are incompatible.

+We strongly recommend maintaining a simple relationship between
+between teams, namespaces, `ClusterQueues` and `LocalQueues`. Each
+team should assigned to their own namespace that contains a single
+`LocalQueue` which is configured to be the only `LocalQueue` that
+targets the team's `ClusterQueue`.
+
+The quotas assigned to a `ClusterQueue` can be dynamically adjusted by
+a cluster admin at any time.  Adjustments to quotas only impact queued
+workloads; workloads already admitted for execution are not impacted
+by quota adjustments.
