How do I get started with LimitRanges?

LimitRanges in Kubernetes are used to limit resource consumption at the namespace level, ensuring fair distribution of resources among pods. They define constraints on resources such as CPU and memory that can be allocated to pods and containers. This is particularly useful in multi-tenant environments where resource management is crucial.

To get started with LimitRanges, you'll first need to create a YAML configuration file that specifies the limits. Here's a simple example:


apiVersion: v1
kind: LimitRange
metadata:
  name: example-limit-range
spec:
  limits:
  - default:
      memory: 512Mi
      cpu: 200m
    defaultRequest:
      memory: 256Mi
      cpu: 100m
    type: Container
