Description: Range Limits in Kubernetes are a fundamental feature that allows cluster administrators to set restrictions on resource usage, such as CPU and memory, of pods within a specific namespace. These limits are crucial for ensuring that cluster resources are used efficiently and fairly, preventing a single pod from consuming all available resources and affecting the performance of other pods. By defining range limits, maximum and minimum values can be set for the resources a pod can request and utilize, helping to prevent system overload and maintain cluster stability. This functionality is especially relevant in multi-tenant environments where multiple applications and services coexist, as it allows administrators to proactively manage resource usage and optimize overall system performance. Additionally, range limits are a valuable tool for capacity planning, as they provide a clear view of how resources are distributed among different pods and namespaces, facilitating informed decision-making regarding scalability and resource provisioning.
