Kubernetes Best Practices for Pods Resizing (setting right resources)

Resources of User Pods

• Memory Request = [Appropriate value based on the usage over last 30 days or more identified using Prometheus and Grafana]
• CPU Request = [Appropriate value based on the usage over last 30 days or more identified using Prometheus and Grafana]
• Memory Limit = Memory Request
  • Only set Memory Limit higher than the Memory Request for those pods which rarely have intense spikes.
    • Those pods can be identified based on the trend over time using Prometheus and Grafana and/or the nature of the pod.
• CPU Limit = None
