Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way I can provide a list of strings(resources) to kubernetes, say [“A”, “B”, “C”, “D”] is a named list of resources from a node. And make sure a pod is scheduled only if resources from this list are available on the node. Each pod tells how many resources it needs from this named resource-list.

And pod may request for one or more(pod gives count of) resources from this named list of strings.  
And Kubernetes can allocate any un-used strings from this named list and maintain resources usage across pods.  
And when pod goes down, kubernetes should restore the resources it consumed similar to CPU/memory.

Thanks,  
Nagaraju
