The design and architecture of OpenShift Container Platform place the following resource hosting limits on an OpenShift cluster:
- Nodes per cluster: 2,000
- Pods per cluster: 150,000
- Pods per node: 250
- Pods per core: Not specified; limited by maximum pods per node
- Namespaces per cluster: 10,000
- Number of builds: 10,000 (based on 512 MB RAM per image)
- Pods per namespace: 25,000
- Services per cluster: 10,000
- Services per namespace: 5,000
- Back ends per service: 5,000

Red Hat offers support for OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 up to these limits, as described in Planning your environment according to object maximums.
