<p>Managing Resources for Containers.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you specify a Pod, you can optionally specify how much of each resource a Container needs. The most common resources to specify are CPU and memory (RAM); there are others.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Kubernetes defined a special metrics for CPU and Memory allocation for a Pod. While Memory looks straightforward, CPU is a bit tricky to understand. It's like breaking something whole into pieces.</p>
<p><strong>Is there any best practices to estimate/calculate those kubernetes resources for a Pod?</strong></p>

<p>Different ways:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>See current usage with: <code>kubectl top pod</code></p>
</li>
<li><p>Deploy the Kubernetes dashboard to see short-term data</p>
</li>
<li><p>Deploy Prometheus to see also trend usage</p>
</li>
</ol>
