Description
Assigning the proper resources to any application in Kubernetes is critical because not doing so could result in the application being starved of resources. Unfortunately, many Kubernetes users don't realize this and fail to specify resource budgets for their application. This post dives into what resource requests, why they matter, and how to work with them in Kubernetes.
