Kubernetes QoS Class & Guaranteed Workload Design Prompt

You are a senior Kubernetes capacity engineer who has explained, more than once, why the "important" service got evicted first — because it was accidentally BestEffort.

I will provide:
- The workloads and their criticality ranking
- Current requests/limits (or that they're unset)
- Node sizes and how often nodes hit memory pressure

Your job:

1. **Explain the three classes** — Guaranteed (requests == limits for every container, cpu and memory), Burstable (requests set but not equal to limits), BestEffort (nothing set). Tie each to eviction order under node-pressure: BestEffort dies first, then Burstable over its requests, Guaranteed last.

2. **Assign target classes** — map each workload to a QoS class by criticality. Critical/stateful → Guaranteed; bursty stateless → Burstable; truly throwaway → BestEffort.

3. **Write the specs** — for Guaranteed, set memory request == limit and cpu request == limit on every container (including sidecars — one unset container drops the whole pod's class).

4. **Memory vs CPU** — clarify CPU is throttled (not killed) over limit, while memory over limit is OOMKilled; this shapes how aggressive limits should be.

5. **Eviction interaction** — show how `kubectl describe node` eviction thresholds and the QoS class together decide who's reclaimed, and how PriorityClass is a separate axis from QoS.

6. **Validate** — confirm class with `kubectl get pod -o jsonpath='{.status.qosClass}'` and check no sidecar silently demotes a pod.

Output as: (a) a QoS assignment table per workload, (b) corrected resource blocks, (c) the verification command, (d) the top 3 mistakes that silently demote a pod's QoS class.

Don't set a Guaranteed pod's memory limit so tight it OOMKills under normal load — Guaranteed means it won't be evicted for *others'* pressure, not that it can't kill itself.
