+
+```bash

+"NAME:.metadata.name,\
+CPU_REQ:.spec.containers[*].resources.requests.cpu,\
+CPU_LIM:.spec.containers[*].resources.limits.cpu,\
+MEM_REQ:.spec.containers[*].resources.requests.memory,\
+MEM_LIM:.spec.containers[*].resources.limits.memory"
+
+# Get VPA recommendations (if VPA installed)
+kubectl get vpa -n production -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\n"}{.status.recommendation.containerRecommendations[*]}{"\n\n"}{end}'

+## Scheduled Scaling
+
+```yaml
+# Scale down dev environments overnight
+apiVersion: batch/v1

+                - |
+                  kubectl scale deployment --all --replicas=0 -n development

+## Priority Classes
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: scheduling.k8s.io/v1
+kind: PriorityClass
+metadata:
+  name: high-priority
+value: 1000000
+globalDefault: false
+description: "Critical production workloads"
+---
+apiVersion: scheduling.k8s.io/v1
+kind: PriorityClass
+metadata:
+  name: low-priority
+value: 100
+globalDefault: false
+preemptionPolicy: Never
+description: "Batch jobs that can be preempted"

+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment

+      # ...
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Set resource requests** on all containers (enables efficient scheduling)
+2. **Use VPA recommendations** to right-size workloads
+3. **Tune HPA stabilization** to prevent thrashing
+4. **Leverage spot instances** for fault-tolerant workloads
+5. **Implement PDBs** to maintain availability during disruptions
+6. **Set namespace quotas** to prevent resource hogging
+7. **Use LimitRanges** to enforce sensible defaults
+8. **Label resources** for cost attribution
+9. **Schedule dev environments** to scale down off-hours
+10. **Monitor with Kubecost** or cloud cost tools
+11. **Use priority classes** to ensure critical workloads run
+12. **Review unused resources** regularly (idle deployments, orphaned PVCs)
