Jump right into Kubernetes development with career-focused lessons and hands-on practice.

DevOps for Developers

Kubernetes is a powerful container management tool that's taking the world by storm. This detailed course will help you master it.

In this course, you'll start with the fundamentals of Kubernetes and what the main components of a cluster look like. You'll then learn how to use those components to build, test, deploy, and upgrade applications, as well as how to achieve state persistence once your application is deployed. You'll also learn how to secure your deployments and manage resources, which are crucial DevOps skills.

By the time you're done, you'll have a firm grasp on what Kubernetes is, as well as the skills to deploy your own clusters and applications with confidence.

A Practical Guide to Kubernetes


We can divide quotas into several groups.

# 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.|
|`requests.cpu`   |Across all Pods in a non-terminal state, the sum of CPU requests cannot exceed this value.   |
|`requests.memory`|Across all Pods in a non-terminal state, the sum of memory requests cannot exceed this value.|

# 2. Storage resource quotas
**Storage resource quotas** limit the total sum of the storage resources. We did not yet explore storage (beyond a few local examples), so you might want to keep the list that follows for future reference:

|Resource Name    |Description                                                                                  |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`requests.storage`|Across all persistent volume claims, the sum of storage requests cannot exceed this value.  |
|`persistentvolumeclaims`|This is the total number of persistent volume claims that can exist in the namespace.         |
|`[PREFIX]/requests.storage`|Across all persistent volume claims associated with the storage-class-name, the sum of storage requests cannot exceed this value.|
|`[PREFIX]/persistentvolumeclaims`|Across all persistent volume claims associated with the storage-class-name, the total number of persistent volume claims that can exist in the namespace.|
|`requests.ephemeral-storage`|Across all Pods in the namespace, the sum of local ephemeral storage requests cannot exceed this value.|
|`limits.ephemeral-storage`|Across all Pods in the namespace, the sum of local ephemeral storage limits cannot exceed this value.|

>**Note:** Please note that `[PREFIX]` should be replaced with `<storage-class-name>.storageclass.storage.k8s.io`.

# 3. Object count quotas
**Object count quotas** limit the number of objects of a given type. They are as follows:

|Resource Name           |Description                                                                                  |
|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`configmaps`            |The total number of ConfigMaps that can exist in the namespace                             |
|`persistentvolumeclaims`|The total number of persistent volume claims that can exist in the namespace                |
|`pods`                  |The total number of Pods in a non-terminal state that can exist in the namespace. A Pod is in a terminal state if the status phase (Failed, Succeeded) is true.                                                         |
|`replicationcontrollers`|The total number of replication controllers that can exist in the namespace                 |
|`resourcequotas`        |The total number of resource quotas that can exist in the namespace                         |
|`services`              |The total number of services that can exist in the namespace                                |
|`services.loadbalancers`|The total number of Services of type load balancer that can exist in the namespace          |
|`services.nodeports`    |The total number of Services of type node port that can exist in the namespace              |
|`secrets`               |The total number of Secrets that can exist in the namespace                                 |
