<p>I have 2 questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I have a node on kubernetes cluster, I wanted to know the difference between CPU request, limit on this image. <strong>I know the difference between limit,request on deployment file</strong> but this seems something different</p></li>
<li><p>In image there's pod allocation capacity ( So far I know this is the limit of running pods at a specific moment ). I wanted to know if pending pods are also included in this capacity or not?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>The values are the total of the values for the 4 pods on the node, shown as a fraction of the total resource available on the node. So e.g. you could have a maximum of 110 pods on the node and you currently have 4. You can use this to get a sense of when your node is nearing being 'full' (i.e. if one of those metrics is almost full then it's likely that kubernetes <a href="http://www.noqcks.io/notes/2018/02/03/understanding-kubernetes-resources/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">won't be able to schedule</a> any more pods to that node). It's the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50912066/kubernetes-node-memory-limits">same metrics you get from <code>kubectl describe node &lt;node_name&gt;</code></a></p>
