Hi Shaheed, We can define the maximum number of instances that can be spawned per partition in deployment policy. You can find a simple sample which is written for next developer preview at [1]. This sample is an end to end sample with single cartridge application and Mock IaaS. See the step 5 for *partitionMax *usage.
Thanks.
