Helm resource requests and limits are declared differently than kubernetes

[mladedav]

Kubernetes usually follows

resources:
  requests:
    memory:
    cpu:
  limits:
    memory:
    cpu:

while linkerd helm chart follows

resources:
  cpu:
    limit:
    request:
  memory:
    limit:
    request:

Is there a reason for this? Wouldn't it be easier for users to keep the structure that is widely used, especially since it is so similar?

Hey @mladedav, I'm not sure there's a good reason for having it this way. It's true consistency can go a long way here but personally, I'd be hesitant to change the format here. I think lots of people would have to change their config file(s) and I'm not sure the effort on either side would be worth it. The configuration options are still intuitive.
