## Feature GKE now provides insights and recommendations that help you [identify workloads without resource requests or limits](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/vertical-pod-autoscaling#identify-workloads) so that you can specify the resource needs for these workloads. Configuring CPU and memory requests and limits for containers is the [best practice](https://cloud.google.com/architecture/best-practices-for-running-cost-effective-kubernetes-applications-on-gke#set%5Fappropriate%5Fresource%5Frequests%5Fand%5Flimits) for improving reliability and performance, and is a necessary prerequisite for understanding and optimizing resource utilization by your workloads and their cost.
