Container CPU Requests & Limits Explained with GOMAXPROCS Tuning
https://victoriametrics.com/blog/kubernetes-cpu-go-gomaxprocs
In this article, we’re going to cover a few things that might’ve puzzled you if you’ve been running your applications, especially Go applications, in Kubernetes:
- How Kubernetes and the Linux kernel handle CPU stuff for containers
- What the Go runtime does with CPU, and whether you should bother setting GOMAXPROCS
- Which metrics are actually worth paying attention to
Maybe you’ve seen some of these metrics before while keeping an eye on your applications, but didn’t fully know what to make of them. This should help clear that up.
