+description: How to set up resource limits
+---
+
+# Resource limits
+
+There are two options:
+
+### Set limits via changing values.yaml
+
+To set or change resource limits for pods you need to create the file `values.yaml` and add the following lines:
+
+```
+resources:
+   limits:
+     cpu: 200m
+     memory: 512Mi
+   requests:
+     cpu: 200m
+     memory: 256Mi
+```
+
+Specify `values.yaml` file during chart install
+
+```
+helm install kafka-ui kafka-ui/kafka-ui -f values.yaml
+```
+
+### Set limits via CLI
+
+To set limits via CLI you need to specify limits with helm install command.
+
+```
+helm install kafka-ui kafka-ui/kafka-ui --set resources.limits.cpu=200m --set resources.limits.memory=512Mi --set resources.requests.memory=256Mi --set resources.requests.cpu=200m 
+```
