Kubernetes - Resource Management

Given this pod spec snippet:

resources:
  requests:
    cpu: "300m"
  limits:
    cpu: "600m"

What is the maximum CPU the pod can use?

A300 millicores

B600 millicores

C900 millicores

DUnlimited CPU

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify CPU limit value
The CPU limit is set to 600m, which means 600 millicores or 0.6 CPU cores.
Step 2: Understand CPU usage cap
The pod can use CPU up to the limit, which is 600 millicores, not the request.
Final Answer:
600 millicores -> Option B
Quick Check:
CPU max usage = CPU limit = 600m [OK]

Quick Trick: CPU limit is the max CPU pod can use [OK]
