  • Category: Architecture (ARC)
  • Family: Architecture (ARCH)
  • Layer: Architecture
  • Tier: 3
  • Severity: warning

  • Legacy ID: ECO-ARCH-005

Summary

Missing CPU/memory limits causes noisy-neighbor waste and instability.

Rationale

Limits are a boundary; without them, one workload can consume the cluster.

Impact

{
  "confidence": 0.75,
  "notes": "Also drives over-provisioning for safety.",
  "type": "reliability"
}

Remediation

{
  "guidance": "Set requests/limits; right-size with metrics.",

}
