+Starting in Kubernetes 1.32, you can also specify resource requests and limits at
+the Pod level. the Pod level. At Pod level, Kubernetes {{< skew currentVersion >}}
+only supports resource requests or limits for specific resource types: `cpu` and /
+or `memory`. This feature is currently in alpha and with the feature enabled,
+Kubernetes allows you to declare an overall resource budget for the Pod, which is
+especially helpful when dealing with a large number of containers where it can be
+difficult to accurately gauge individual resource needs. Additionally, it enables
+containers within a Pod to share idle resources with each other, improving resource
+utilization. 
+
+For a Pod, you can specify resource limits and requests for CPU and memory by including the following:
+* `spec.resources.limits.cpu`
+* `spec.resources.limits.memory`
+* `spec.resources.requests.cpu`
+* `spec.resources.requests.memory`
