Tutorial: Setting Requests and Limits correctly

[tobru]

How to properly configure requests and limits.

There are some good resources out there for inspiration:

• https://cloud.redhat.com/blog/openshift-4-resources-configuration-methodology-and-tools
• https://www.puzzle.ch/de/blog/articles/2021/11/04/basic-kubernetes-resource-management
• https://www.containiq.com/post/setting-and-rightsizing-kubernetes-resource-limits

Isn't this ticket already solved by this page?

IMHO no, the linked page only talks about the ratios. In this Tutorial it's about how a user can figure out how to properly set requests and limits for their workload. For inspiration, see linked pages.

I still think we should provide more documentation in regard to resource management, just like the initially provided article do, directly in our APPUiO Cloud End-User docs. Resources are the main cost driver and such an important aspect of our platform that we should provide essential input directly in our docs.
