I have been searching for recommendations on the value to use for setting the Resource Quota for a site collection in an Office 365 tenant for SharePoint. I have found several articles on how to change the setting, and how it is calculated (in theory), but nothing on what the recommended setting should be for a typical team site or publishing site that is not using Sandbox solutions.
Use Case 1 - Typical team site, no customizations, less than 50 users
Use Case 2 - Publishing site, client side code (JS, HTML, CSS) customizations, up to 5,000 users
Use Case 3 - Corporate Portal, rich content, custom pages, search driven content, again, client side code, around 30,000 users
These are all hypothetical, but with only client side code, and OOB capabilities, do we need to set a Resource Quota? The default sites for search center, portal, etc. have a quota of zero. Does zero mean unlimited resources, implying we should not use that for any site that is not provided OOB? If the tenant overall resources hit the total value, does that bring the whole tenant down? What is the impact of setting the value to zero? Can the total of the resource quotas exceed the total available, as long as the tenant does not exceed the total in operation?
A nice article explaining when and how to determine Resource Quota values, other than trial and error, would be helpful.
