Demand and allocation are different methods for calculating the capacity on containers, and are set in the same location as enabling the containers themselves, as shown as follows.
Before we dive into specific containers, you can simply think of demand as how much of a resource is being used, where allocation is how many resources the object has been configured with or given.
If both demand and allocation are enabled for a container, it results in two different calculations being performed on the resource, and just like overall capacity, the most constraining result will be used. ...
