Re:Kubernetes: Make your services faster by removing CPU limits by jeffbee on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @11:31AM (#24354194)
If there are several services all with the same share of CPU resources and with no configured limits, and they are all runnable, then none of them will be able to starve the others. The kernel will schedule them each in turn.

If you configure a static limit what you get is services that don't run even when there is CPU time available, which is bad.

Exactly! Most commenters piling on the idea clearly don’t know about cpu shares and how they are used in container runtimes.
