Exploring the Types of Quotas

Explore the different types of quotas in Kubernetes, including compute resource, storage resource, and object count quotas. This lesson helps you understand how to limit CPU, memory, storage, and object usage to manage resources efficiently within a Kubernetes namespace.

1. Compute resource quotas

Compute resource quotas limit the total sum of the compute resources. They are as follows:

Resource Name Description
cpu Across all Pods in a non-terminal state, the sum of CPU requests cannot exceed this value.
limits.cpu Across all Pods in a non-terminal state, the sum of CPU limits cannot exceed this value.
limits.memory Across all Pods in a non-terminal state, the sum of memory limits cannot exceed this value.
memory Across all Pods in a non-terminal state, the sum of memory requests cannot exceed this value.
