title: How to set the right cpu millicores for a container?
body: <p>I want to optimally configure the CPU cores without over or under allocation. How can I measure the required CPU millicore for a given container? It also brings the question of how much traffic a proxy will send it to any given pod based on CPU consumption so we can optimally use the compute.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I send requests and monitor with,</p>
  
  <pre><code>kubectl top pod
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any tool that can measure, Requests, CPU and Memory over the time and suggest the optimal CPU recommendation for the pods.</p>
