Optimizing Container Footprint

When deploying applications in containers, you need to balance resource usage with performance. This calculator multiplies per-container limits by the total count and then adds overhead to account for orchestration components. The math is straightforward: , where $P$ represents the per-container resource (CPU or memory), $N$ is the container count, and $O$ is the overhead percentage.

Right-sizing your pods prevents wasted capacity and reduces cloud costs. Monitor your containers over time to fine-tune these limits for best results.
