What Is a Resource Quota?
A resource quota is a namespace-level limit on aggregate resource use, such as total CPU and memory requested or the number of pods and services created. The control plane rejects requests that would push the namespace over its quota. It is the primary tool for fair sharing on a multi-tenant cluster.
Why it matters
Quotas stop a runaway CI namespace from consuming the whole cluster and starving other teams. They force workloads to declare requests, which in turn improves scheduling.
