Full content coming soon. This lesson is being written.

This lesson covers resource management:

  • CPU vs memory: why they behave differently when exceeded
  • Requests: scheduling guarantee (what the scheduler uses)
  • Limits: enforcement ceiling (what the kernel enforces)
  • Quality of Service classes: Guaranteed, Burstable, BestEffort
  • LimitRange: default and max limits per namespace
  • ResourceQuota: total resource cap per namespace
  • OOMKilled: diagnosing and fixing memory limit issues
