Parameter examples and reference
resources and resourcesPreset
resources sets explicit CPU and memory configurations for each replica.
When left empty, the preset defined in resourcesPreset is applied.
resources:
cpu: 4000m
memory: 4Gi
resourcesPreset sets named CPU and memory configurations for each replica.
This setting is ignored if the corresponding resources value is set.
