title: Kubernetes: CPU Resource allocation for POD
body: <p>I am trying to assign CPU resources for services running in kubernetes pods. Services are mostly nodejs based REST endpoints with some DB operations. </p>
  
  <p>During the load test, tried different combinations between 100m and 1000m for pods. 
  For the expected number of requests/second, when value is less than &lt; 500m more pods are getting spawned as part of HPA  than when the value is >500m. I am using CPU based trigger for HPA.</p>
  
  <p>I couldn't figure out depending on what I shall be selecting particular CPU resource value. Can someone help me in this regard? </p>
