Answer from AI
The maximum allowable number of nodes, pods, modules, and containers in a single Kubernetes cluster depends on the Kubernetes version and cluster configuration, but there are recommended limits for stable operation:
- Nodes: up to 5000
- Pods per cluster: up to 150,000
- Pods per node: usually up to 110 (by default)
- Containers per pod: usually up to 2-3, but technically more
These values may vary depending on hardware resources and workload specifics. When designing a cluster, it is important to consider these limits to avoid performance degradation and management issues.
