Requests And Limits — Certified Kubernetes App Developer (CKAD) Practice Questions
Resource requests tell the Kubernetes scheduler the minimum CPU and memory a container needs, while limits cap how much it can consume at runtime. The CKAD exam tests setting both fields under the resources key in a container spec, distinguishing requests from limits, and understanding the consequences of each. A Pod without requests may be scheduled onto a node that cannot actually support it, and a Pod without limits may starve neighboring workloads. The exam commonly combines this topic with namespace-level quotas or LimitRange objects, so understanding how they interact is important.
