LimitRange sets resource usage limits for each kind of resource in a Namespace.

Field	Description
`apiVersion` string	APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources
`kind` string	Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
`metadata` ObjectMeta	Standard object's metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
`spec` LimitRangeSpec	Spec defines the limits enforced. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status

LimitRangeSpec

LimitRangeSpec defines a min/max usage limit for resources that match on kind.

Field	Description
`limits` * LimitRangeItem array	Limits is the list of LimitRangeItem objects that are enforced.

LimitRangeList is a list of LimitRange items.

Field	Description
`apiVersion` string	APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources
`items` * LimitRange array	Items is a list of LimitRange objects. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/
`kind` string	Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
`metadata` ListMeta	Standard list metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds

LimitRangeItem defines a min/max usage limit for any resource that matches on kind.

Field	Description
`default` object	Default resource requirement limit value by resource name if resource limit is omitted.
`defaultRequest` object	DefaultRequest is the default resource requirement request value by resource name if resource request is omitted.
`max` object	Max usage constraints on this kind by resource name.
`maxLimitRequestRatio` object	MaxLimitRequestRatio if specified, the named resource must have a request and limit that are both non-zero where limit divided by request is less than or equal to the enumerated value; this represents the max burst for the named resource.
`min` object	Min usage constraints on this kind by resource name.
`type` * string	Type of resource that this limit applies to.
