This article discusses Kubernetes resource limits and requests, which help manage resource allocation for containers in a cluster. Resource requests set the minimum resources needed for a container to function, while resource limits define the maximum resources it can consume. Setting these limits ensures fair resource sharing, prevents resource hogging, and guarantees predictable performance. However, it also adds complexity, potential for resource waste, and risks of processes being killed if limits are exceeded. Effective resource planning and continuous monitoring are essential for maintaining stable and optimized Kubernetes environments.
