New from LearnKube: Setting the right requests and limits in Kubernetes.

CPU and memory requests and limits appear together in a Pod manifest, but Kubernetes and Linux use them at different stages.

You will learn:

• How the scheduler compares requests with node allocatable capacity
• Why actual usage can exceed a request
• How CPU quotas cause throttling even when average CPU looks low
• Why an OOM kill is different from a node-pressure eviction
• How requests and limits determine Kubernetes QoS classes

The article is the first chapter of The Technical Guide to Kubernetes Rightsizing, co-authored by Gulcan and Daniele Polencic.
