Kubernetes Resource Quota

The ResourceQuota object in Kubernetes allows administrators to limit resource usage per namespace, preventing unintended resource contention and depletion in a shared environment. Resource quotas are enforced by the Kubernetes quota admission controller, which monitors and tracks resource usage. If a user or process attempts to exceed the set quota, the controller will prevent the operation. The article provides a detailed demo on how to create and define a CPU resource quota on a namespace and how to manage it. Best practices include defining resource requests and limits in the ResourceQuota object files and monitoring actual resource usage compared to allocated capacity.
