= Ephemeral storage management overview

[role="_abstract"]
Cluster administrators can manage ephemeral storage within a project by setting quotas that define limit ranges and request counts for all pods in a non-terminal state. Developers can also set requests and limits on this resource at the pod and container level.

You can manage local ephemeral storage by specifying requests and limits. Each container in a pod can specify the following:

* `spec.containers[].resources.limits.ephemeral-storage`
* `spec.containers[].resources.requests.ephemeral-storage`
