What kubelet reserves on c4d-highcpu-384
| Setup | Max pods | kube-reserved CPU | Memory reserved + eviction | Allocatable CPU | Allocatable memory | Memory usable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GKE ≤ 1.36 tiered memory reservation | 110 | 1030m | 21668 Mi + 100 Mi | 382.97 | 698.74 GiB | 97.0% |
| GKE 1.37+ (Container-Optimized OS) 15 MiB × max pods + 500 MiB, CPU capped at 1 vCPU | 110 | 1000m | 2150 Mi + 100 Mi | 383.00 | 717.80 GiB | 99.7% |
How these numbers are computed: reservation formulas. Check a live node with kubectl describe node → Allocatable.
