A Word About Kubernetes Cluster Resources

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform. It is very popular for deploying container-based workloads. Kubernetes clusters could spread across many nodes. These nodes are physical or virtual machines spread across geographies and deployed at various data centers, ensuring high availability for the cluster.

These machines have a lot of computing resources aggregated at the cluster level and are at the disposal of the workloads that get deployed in the cluster. These computing resources include CPU and memory capabilities. Apart from that, the cluster also has a constraint on the number of API objects it can hold. The latest Kubernetes version supports 110 pods per node, as there are also constraints on assigning IP addresses.
