Query Explanation

The query computes the average CPU usage percentage for each pod‑container by dividing the 5‑minute rate of container_cpu_usage_seconds_total by the container’s CPU limit (container_spec_cpu_quota/container_spec_cpu_period) and multiplying by 100, and the alert triggers when this percentage remains below 20 % continuously for one week, suggesting the container is over‑provisioned.
