Kube-vip on KIND
kube-vip.io
Since kube-vip as a DaemonSet runs as a regular resource instead of a static Pod, it still needs the correct access to be able to watch Kubernetes Services and other objects. In order to do this, RBAC resources must be created which include a ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, and ClusterRoleBinding and can be applied this with the command:

Quality-of-Service for Memory Resources | Kubernetes
kubernetes.io
Authors: Tim Xu (Tencent Cloud) Kubernetes v1.22, released in August 2021, introduced a new alpha feature that improves how Linux nodes implement memory resource requests and limits. In prior releases, Kubernetes did not support memory quality guarantees. For example, if you set container resources as follows: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: example spec: containers: — name: nginx resources: requests: memory: “64Mi” cpu: “250m” limits: memory: “64Mi” cpu: “500m” spec.containers[].resources.requests(e.g. cpu, memory) is designed for scheduling.
