What is the unit "m" used for CPU quota definition? Does "100m" stand for any measurable cpu power? Memory is defined as actual bytes but CPU is kind of weird.

Answering myself; it seems to be well documented: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/de...

m stands for milli and that means 100m would allocate 10% of a cpu core. Or virtual cpu units assigned to a node by Kubernetes rather than a physical core.

It refers to a "millicore" which I assume was used to avoid floats.

It't a good thing HN doesn't have URL length restrictions, because that URL uses 403 characters to represent a URL that is 82 characters long.

What the heck!? You're right. That's crazy. I wonder why the web framework designer thought that was necessary.

Most of it is link tracking for newsletter distribution. You can remove it and shorten it to [1] without any impact

Interesting

Codeship Founder here. @op: Where did you get the link from? I'm curious if it's our newsletter because then we would fix the URLs.
