Hey, let's talk again about Limits and Throttling !
11-05, 15:45–16:15 (US/Central), ROOM 2

Let's get back to Resources Requests and Limits and see how much your apps are being Throttled despite all your efforts !


I know what you think.
You think you know how to set the right resource Requests and Limits for your pods. You think the kernel was fixed and throttling is not happening anymore.

Maybe you're not even tracking the pod's throttling in your clusters...

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that Throttling is happening in almost any cluster. And most people in 2023 still does not fully understand how Limits work and how to avoid throttling.

In this talk we'll review, again, how Resource Requests work, how Limits are applied and what is happening behind the scene.

You will learn:
- identify your workload pattern
- how to set limits right for the many containers inside a pod
- how to graph Throttling
- how to setup HorizontalPodAutoscaling the right way
- how to prevent throttling and give full power to your pods (and reduce costs)

You'll walk out with all the superpower to be your company next performance and cost super-hero !
