     request and is in the process of applying it to the pod's containers.
   - `Deferred`: This value means that the requested resize cannot be granted at

+## Limitations
+
+In-place resize of pod resources currently has the following limitations:
+
+- Only CPU and memory resources can be changed.
+- Pod QoS Class cannot change. This means that requests must continue to equal limits for Guaranteed
+  pods, Burstable pods cannot set requests and limits to be equal for both CPU & memory, and you
+  cannot add resource requirements to Best Effort pods.
+- Init containers and Ephemeral Containers cannot be resized.
+- Resource requests and limits cannot be removed once set.
+- A container's memory limit may not be reduced below its usage. If a request puts a container in
+  this state, the resize status will remain in `InProgress` until the desired memory limit becomes
+  feasible.
+- Windows pods cannot be resized.
