What are Kubernetes resource quotas and how do they work?

Kubernetes resource quotas are limits set on the amount of resources (like CPU and memory) that can be consumed by a namespace. They help manage resources effectively in a cluster.

How do I set up a resource quota in my Kubernetes cluster?

You can set up a resource quota by creating a YAML file that defines the quota and then applying it using kubectl apply -f <filename>.yaml.

Can I set different quotas for different namespaces?

Yes, you can set different resource quotas for each namespace, allowing for tailored resource management based on the needs of each team or application.

What happens if a namespace exceeds its resource quota?

If a namespace exceeds its resource quota, Kubernetes will prevent new pods from being created until the resource usage is reduced below the quota limits.
