Hi, I have a question about Pod Usage in AKS Insights being able to go above 100%.
What could be the case of that, is that just a kind of process overhead error? Because K8s shouldn't be able to allocate more than the limit to a pod.
I would also like to confirm, how exactly is that metric calculated, and against which limits (request or normal).

@Isacenoks, Ilja Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform and thanks for your query. Community SME's on this topic or our team will review your scenario and circle back at the possible earliest time.
@Isacenoks, Ilja Kindly note that these are calculated with respect to limits. Can you please share the actual metric values (cpuusagenanocores and cpulimitnanocores) for this specific single container in the pod, from perf table?
@Isacenoks, Ilja Did you get chance to look into my previous comments ? Kindly revert if you need further assistance.
@Isacenoks, Ilja Hope you had chance to check my previous comments .Kindly revert if you need further assistance.
@Isacenoks, Ilja Based on the analysis done by the PG team, its possible to show a value > 100 % if denominator aka the container limit is less than the usage value.
