Description: Eviction is the process of removing data from memory to make space for new data. This concept is fundamental in resource management in computer systems, especially in environments where memory is a limited resource. In cloud computing and container orchestration, eviction refers to the ability to free up resources from an overloaded node, allowing applications to run more efficiently. Eviction becomes a crucial tool for maintaining the stability and performance of applications. In memory management, eviction is used to optimize the use of RAM, ensuring that more critical applications have access to the necessary resources. On the other hand, in in-memory data stores, eviction is applied to manage storage space, removing less relevant or less frequently used data to make room for new data. This process can be automatic or manual, depending on the system’s configuration and the user’s needs.
