Resource allocation during startup

Kubernetes
#1

Is there a option to set different cpu resource allocation to a container only during till the application is in ready state.
Eg:

resources: 
  limits:
    cpu: 500m
    memory: 750Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 250m
    memory: 750Mi

This is the resource allocation we can currentrly give to a container which is great of course.
But I have a unique situation where my conatiner only during the initial startup if given (cpu cores) can consume up to 4 cores (4000m) which helps to start the application in under 5 seconds.
Neither with the above existing resource requests and limits the conainer will take 4 min.

Can we pass resources like

resources: 
  startup:
    cpu: 4000m
    memory: 750Mi
  limits:
    cpu: 500m
    memory: 750Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 250m
    memory: 750Mi

This startup resource to consume only during the startup till the container becomes to ready state.
Ofcourse I can directly give 4000m to limits but I want the bussiness logic in the container to run in only under limited resource but only during startup I want to change as it helps to start the container in under 5 seconds.

I know we can edit the resources live but I believe that is not ideal.

Looks like this is something else not what I am looking for.
As I have mentioned in post like different resource allocations for request and limits I want same for startup also.

Hi @saireddybonthu

No, it’s not possible we only have limits and requests but you can try the following :

resources: 
  limits:
    cpu: 4000m
    memory: 750Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 250m
    memory: 750Mi
