Allocate Resources with Milvus Operator

We can allocate resources for a single component or for all components in a Milvus cluster.

Example

The following example allocates:

• 1 CPU and 2 GiB memory for the mixCoord
• 2 CPUs and 4 GiB memory for the proxy
• 4 CPUs and 8 GiB memory for all other components (including the queryNodes, indexNodes and dataNodes)

        limits:
          cpu: '1'
          memory: 2Gi
