Uncontrolled Container Resource Consumption Causing Host Crashes
7/10 HighDocker containers lack explicit resource constraints by default and can consume all available CPU and memory, potentially causing cascading host crashes and resource contention. While workarounds exist using resource limit flags, the default permissive behavior poses significant operational risk.

Not specifying CPU and memory requirements in Pod specifications... Kubernetes schedules pods based on these requests. Without them, the scheduler might place too many pods on a single node, leading to resource contention and performance bottlenecks.

By default, Docker containers operate without explicit resource constraints and can consume all memory or CPU the host kernel scheduler allows. While simple, this poses a profound operational risk.
