You can set resource quotas and limits for a namespace in the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console.

Prerequisites

Background information

By default, pods that are in the running state can consume the CPU and memory resources of nodes without limit. In this case, pods in a namespace may exhaust the resources of the cluster.

Namespaces can be used as virtual clusters to serve multiple purposes. We recommend that you set resource quotas for namespaces.

You can set multiple resource quotas for a namespace, including CPU, memory, and pod quotas. For more information, see Resource quotas.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the ACK console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane of the ACK console, click Clusters.
  3. On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click the name of the cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
  4. In the left-side navigation pane, click Namespaces and Quotas.
  5. Find the namespace that you want to manage and click Resource Quotas and Limits in the Actions column.
  6. In the Resource Quotas and Limits dialog box, set resource quotas and default resource limits.
    Note After you set CPU and memory quotas for a namespace, you must specify CPU and memory limits when you create a pod. You can also set the default resource limits for the namespace. For more information, see Resource quotas.
    1. Set resource quotas for the namespace.

    2. Set resource limits and resource requests for containers in the namespace. This enables you to control the amount of resources consumed by the containers. For more information, see Configure default memory requests and limits for a namespace.

What to do next

You can click Resource Quotas and Limits in the Actions column to view the resource limits that are set for the specified namespace.
