Sizing

Gitpod schedules workspaces as Kubernetes pods. Each workspace pod requests a certain amount of memory which directly affects how many workspaces are scheduled on a single node. If you want to change the default sizing (~ 8GiB per workspace) you should

1. Merge the following into your values.custom.yaml:

   language:

   # workspaceSizing configures the resources available to each workspace. These settings directly impact how
   # desenly we pack workspaces on nodes where workspacesPerNode = memoryAvailable(node) / memoryRequest.
   #
   # Beware: if a workspace exceeds its memoryLimit, some of its processes may be terminated (OOM-kill) which
   # results in a broken user experience.
   workspaceSizing:
       requests:
           cpu: '1m'
           memory: '2.25Gi'
           storage: '5Gi'
       limits:
           cpu: '5'
           memory: '12Gi'
       dynamic:
           # Gitpod supports dynamic CPU limiting. We express those limits in "buckets of CPU time" (jiffies where 1 jiffie is 1% of a vCPU).
           # Each bucket has a limit (i.e. max CPU rate in jiffies/sec, 100 jiffies/sec = 1 vCPU).
           #
           # For example:
           #   # three minutes of 5 CPUs: 5 [numCPU] * 100 [jiffies/sec] * (3 * 60) [seconds] = 90000
           #   - budget: 90000
           #     limit: 500
           #   # five minutes  of 4 CPUs: 4 [numCPU] * 100 [jiffies/sec] * (5 * 60) [seconds] = 120000
           #   - budget: 120000
           #     limit: 400
           #   # remainder of 2 CPUs where a user has to stay below sustained use of 1.8 CPUs for 5 minutes:
           #   #                       1.8 [numCPU] * 100 [jiffies/sec] * (5 * 60) [seconds] = 54000
           #   - budget: 54000
           #     limit: 200
           #
           # if there are no buckets configured, the dynamic CPU limiting is disabled.
           cpu:
               buckets: []
               samplingPeriod: '10s'
               controlPeriod: '15m'

2. Do a helm upgrade --install -f values.custom.yaml gitpod gitpod.io/gitpod --version=0.10.0 to apply the changes.
