Controlling resource consumption using LimitRanges

This is another way of control resource allocation in OpenShift at the project level, but unlike ResourceQuotas, they are different in certain ways:

• They are applied to individual pods, containers, images, or image streams
• They don't control some resources such as secrets, ConfigMaps, ResourceQuotas, services, and ReplicationControllers
• They can be created from a raw definition only

Depending on the type of resource they are applied to, LimitRanges control various computing resources and objects:

Resource type	Computing resources/attributes controlled
Pod	CPU RAM
Container	CPU RAM
Image	Size of an image pushed into an internal registry
ImageStream	Number ...
