KEP of the Week

KEP 2837: Pod level resource limits

Currently resource allocation in PodSpec is done at the container level. The scheduler aggregates the resources requested by all the containers to find a suitable Node for the Pod. The Pod API lacks a way to specify limits at the Pod level, limiting the flexibility and ease of resource management for Pods as a whole. This KEP extends the Pod API with a resource spec at the Pod level. This new feature can be used to complement the existing resource limits and make things easier for tightly coupled applications. The KEP explains how the resource limits will be applied in different cases when Pod level and container level requests and limits are specified, as well as how the OOM score calculation will be done.

This KEP is tracked for alpha stage in the upcoming v1.32 release.
