Description

What would you like to be added:

In the pod view, show the resource numbers:

  • requests
  • limits
  • usage

I am not looking for graphs, just the most recent number (in the case of usage) and what is configured for requests/limits.

I see this information is already in the Deployment view (for example) for each pod. It would be helpful if it was also part of the pod view itself.

Why is this needed:

Environment you are Lens application on:

  • Kubernetes distribution: [EKS, AKS, GKE, Rancher, ...]
  • Desktop OS:

Research direction
Examine the pod view component in Lens frontend, likely located in `src/renderer/components/+pods/`. Look at how the Deployment view displays resource requests and limits (`src/renderer/components/+workloads deployments/`) and adapt that logic for pods. The Kubernetes API types for PodSpec containers include `Resources` field. Check the issue comments for any additional context.
