Actually, why? Sure those guys may starve the ones without limits but they won't starve each other just because Linux will simply time-share the processes. And for services on the critical path (what they turned it off for) that seems like correct behaviour.

I should have said that it seems like the wrong fix to the problem. But I have since learned that limits can cause excessive throttling. And of course you may want your pods to be burstable, but that would just be a question of setting appropriate limits.

Live and learn!
