KB:Kubernetes POD CPU/RAM Requests and Limits
In Kubernetes, requests and limits manage resources like CPU and memory. Requests ensure a container receives the specified resources by scheduling it on an appropriate node. Limits cap the maximum resources a container can use. The limit must always be equal to or greater than the request, otherwise, Kubernetes will prevent the container from running. Keep Requests Minimal: Keeping resource requests minimal in Kubernetes is a best practice for optimizing node utilization and reducing costs. By setting minimal requests, you ensure that containers only reserve the resources they truly need, preventing nodes from being underutilized and avoiding unnecessary expenses for over-provisioned resources. This efficient resource management helps in better scheduling and balancing of workloads across the cluster. However, minimal requests do not mean your containers will lack resources. Kubernetes allows containers to use additional resources up to their defined limits if available, ensurin...
