It is possible to conditionally apply rate limits based on arbitrary attributes using a match condition in the quota rule.</p><p>For example, consider the following configuration:</p><pre><code class="language-yaml"> apiVersion: config.istio.io/v1alpha2
kind: rule
metadata:
name: quota
namespace: istio-system
spec:
match: source.namespace != destination.namespace
actions:
- handler: handler.memquota
instances:
- requestcount.quota
</code></pre><p>This configuration applies the quota rule to requests whose source and destination namespaces are different.</p><h2 id="understanding-rate-limits">Understanding rate limits</h2><p>In the preceding examples we saw how Mixer applies rate limits to requests that match certain conditions.</p><p>Every named quota instance like <code>requestcount</code> represents a set of counters. The set is defined by a Cartesian product of all quota dimensions. If the number of requests in the last <code>expiration</code> duration exceed <code>maxAmount</code>, Mixer returns a <code>RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED</code> message to the proxy. The proxy in turn returns status <code>HTTP 429</code> to the caller.</p><p>The <code>memquota</code> adapter uses a sliding window of sub second resolution to enforce rate limits.</p><p>The <code>maxAmount</code> in the adapter configuration sets the default limit for all counters associated with a quota instance. This default limit applies if a quota override does not match the request. Memquota selects the first override that matches a request. An override need not specify all quota dimensions. In the ratelimit-handler.yaml example, the <code>1qps</code> override is selected by matching only three out of four quota dimensions.</p><p>If you would like the above policies enforced for a given namespace instead of the entire Istio mesh, you can replace all occurrences of istio-system with the given namespace.</p><h2 id="cleanup">Cleanup</h2><ul><li><p>Remove the rate limit configuration:</p><pre><code class="language-bash">istioctl delete -f ratelimit-handler.yaml
