When no resources are defined on a Chart, library will use the .Values.global.defaults.resources

requests is used by the scheduler to decide if the node has enough resources for the pod. Can be useful when multi node clusters are used. Currently set to a very low value, so a pod can always be scheduled on the single node.

limits is used to actually limit resources to a container. By default is set to 4 cpu and 8GiB RAM.

You can define only what you want to change, and the rest will be pulled from defaults.

Note: requests cannot be empty.

Examples:

resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 8000m
    memory: 16Gi
  requests:
    cpu: 10m
    memory: 50Mi

# The bellow will only alter the limits.cpu.
# Rest will be pulled from global defaults
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 2000m

# If you want to remove a limit
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: ""
