Overview
Requests drive scheduling, limits drive eviction. CrashLoopBackOff and OOMKilled are usually a limits conversation, not a code one.
In this lesson you will:
- Set requests and limits that reflect real usage
- Diagnose CrashLoopBackOff and OOMKilled pods
- Debug a pod with logs, describe, and exec
Pro Tip
Requests decide where a pod is scheduled; limits decide when it gets killed. They are not the same number.
