Kubernetes allows you to define resource quotas for memory usage using requests and limits.
There are two key scenarios when setting these values:
| Scenario | Behavior |
|---|---|
Case 1: Limit = Defined ✅ AND Request = Defined ✅ |
✅ No issue, Pod runs normally. |
Case 2: Request > or < Default Range of Limit ❌ |
**🚫 Pod fails to start (**Request must always be within or equal to the Limit) |
⇒ Create a new AWS instance named “Minikube” on a T2-Medium instance type, access it via PuTTY as usual, and then proceed with the rest of the lab.
