Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Node Total Memory (bytes) = 34359738368
- Pod Density (pods per node) = 20
- Average Pod Memory Request (bytes) = 1073741824
Expected Result:
- Memory Overcommit Safety Margin = 0.375
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Memory Overcommit Safety Margin = 0.375.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
memory overcommit safety margin = (bytes - (pods per node * bytes)) / bytesMemory Overcommit Safety Margin.
