We published a free, 342-page technical guide to Kubernetes rightsizing.

The guide covers:

• How Kubernetes requests and limits work.

• Which container, runtime, and application metrics you can trust.

• How to apply changes safely with policy, GitOps, rollouts, and rollback conditions.

• Where AI can help without receiving unchecked production authority.

This is by far the longest book I’ve written with Gulcan! There’s so much to say about requests/limits 😅

You can find it here
