		jitl 7 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: What would a Kubernetes 2.0 look like K8s has swap now. I am managing a fleet of nodes with 12TB of NVMe swap each. Each container gets (memory limit / node memory) * (total swap) swap limit. No way to specify swap demand on the pod spec yet so needs to be managed “by hand” with taints or some other correlation.

What does swap space get you? I always thought of it as a it of an anachronism to be honest.

The comment you replied to cited 12TB of NVMe, and I can assure you that 12TB of ECC RAM costs way more than NVMe
