Kubernetes resources

I find my self explaining how I approach setting Kuberentes resources over and over again, and I always struggle rediscovering the good references. So this post serves as a reminder for my self and hopefully it can also help you. I always recommend this 3 part post by Shon Lev-Ran

• Kubernetes resources under the hood part 1 (9 min read)
• Kubernetes resources under the hood part 2 (7 min read)
• Kubernetes resources under the hood part 3 (9 min read)

But to make it real easy. I always set resource using the following guidelines

1. Only set resources request for CPU and never set CPU limit.
2. Always set resource request and limit for memory and make sure they are equal.
