No one lacks an opinion when it comes to CPU limits. Are they a mandatory requirement or a misunderstood evil? Most cloud providers tell you to set them, yet members of the original Kubernetes team at Google say not to use them! Why all the debate about something that seems so simple? Should you use CPU limits or not? Natan will go through both sides of the argument. He’ll explain why there is so much controversy over something so simple, and help you determine what is right for your team.
