Resource settings templates

The resource settings templates page allows you to quickly select, copy, and customize resource templates according to their needs, ensuring that applications are provided with the appropriate resources for optimal performance. It contains:

• Sample Templates: Provides a selection of predefined resource templates which are categorized based on their size specifications - Small, Medium, and Large. Each sample template lists the resource allocations for CPU, Memory, and Storage.
