1. A system comprising:
a processing resource; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium, coupled to the processing resource, having stored therein instructions that when executed by the processing resource cause the processing resource to:
receive information indicative of a number of sets of containers that are making use of one or more components of an application, wherein the application is licensed by a tenant;
determine overuse of the application by the tenant based on whether the number exceeds a licensing constraint for the application specified within an Application Programming Interface (API) object corresponding to the application, wherein the sets of containers mount the API object as a volume or a file; and
responsive to a determination that the application is being overused by the tenant,
creating a log entry including information regarding the overusing the application; and
cause the tenant to be notified regarding the overuse based on the log entry.
