ECO-INF-K8S-001¶

Name: Missing or mis-sized CPU and memory requests and limits

Category: Infrastructure

Family: Kubernetes

Primary layer: process

System layers: process, architecture

Description¶

Kubernetes workloads that omit or poorly size CPU and memory requests and limits make scheduling and capacity planning less efficient, increasing cluster waste and instability.

Impact¶

cost: Poor sizing can lead to overprovisioning or noisy-neighbor contention.
performance: Bad sizing increases throttling or eviction risk.
carbon: Inefficient capacity use drives unnecessary cluster footprint.

Detection¶

method: yaml-k8s
selector: missing_requests_limits

Remediation¶

guidance: Set realistic requests and limits based on actual workload behavior and revise them as measurements improve.
examples:
Use observed workload baselines instead of copy-pasted defaults.

Pattern examples¶

No pattern examples provided.

Remediation examples¶
