The container does not specify a memory request, and it does not specify a memory limit.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/admin/resource/memory-constraints-pod-4.yaml --namespace=constraints-mem-example\n```\n\nView detailed information about the Pod\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl get pod constraints-mem-demo-4 --namespace=constraints-mem-example --output=yaml\n```\n\nThe output shows that the Pod's only container has a memory request of 1 GiB and a memory limit of 1 GiB. How did that container get those values?\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\nresources:\n  limits:\n    memory: 1Gi\n  requests:\n    memory: 1Gi\n```\n\nBecause your Pod did not define any memory request and limit for that container, the cluster applied a default memory request and limit from the LimitRange.\n\nThis means that the definition of that Pod shows those values. You can check it using kubectl describe\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
