Small-sized Pod Kubernetes

When defining resource requests and limits for a small-sized Pod in Kubernetes, you typically set low values for both CPU and memory to ensure that the Pod consumes minimal resources. Resource requests indicate the minimum amount of resources the Pod needs to be scheduled on a Node, while limits specify the maximum resources the Pod is allowed to use.

Here’s a small-sized Pod configuration with appropriate resource requests and limits:

Example: Small-Sized Pod Resource Limits

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: small-pod-example
spec:
  containers:
  - name: nginx
    image: nginx
    resources:
      requests:
        memory: "32Mi"   # Requesting 32 MiB of memory
        cpu: "100m"      # Requesting 100 milli-CPU (0.1 CPU core)
      limits:
        memory: "64Mi"   # Maximum memory limit is 64 MiB
        cpu: "200m"      # Maximum CPU limit is 200 milli-CPU (0.2 CPU core)

Breakdown:

requests:

• memory: "32Mi": This is the minimum amount of memory the Pod will get. If a Node does not have at least 32 MiB available, the Pod won't be scheduled on that Node.
• cpu: "100m": This requests 0.1 of a CPU core. The Pod will get at least this much CPU time.
