  • CPU limit: upper boundary of computing units to be allocated
  • Memory request: amount of memory that is guaranteed to be allocated
  • Memory limit: upper boundary of memory to be allocated

for detailed information, see Kubernetes documentation

Set runtime configuration while deploying​

  1. Find your application in CodeNOW. On the bottom of the page of you application, under Deployments, select Deploy
  2. On the first step of the deployment process, fill in your chosen environment and application package. Once you have done that, click Next.
  3. Keep going until you reach step labeled as Runtime Configuration. There is a dropdown menu corresponding to your application components.
