About Kubernetes Memory Units Converter

A Kubernetes memory units converter turns resource quantities like 512Mi, 1.5Gi, 129e6 and 250m into plain bytes and cores, so you can compare requests and limits written in different units. Paste single values or a whole manifest and it shows each value in bytes, Mi, Gi and MB or in cores and millicores, the form the API server stores it in, and the unit mistakes that cause OOMKilled pods.

Key Features

Parses every quantity suffix: Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti, Pi, Ei, k, M, G, T, P, E, m, u, n and e notation
Shows the exact string the API server stores and kubectl prints back, matching Kubernetes' own parser
Flags lowercase m on memory, which means millibytes, so 400m is 0.4 bytes rather than 400Mi
Explains decimal versus binary units: 512M is 488.28Mi, not 512Mi
Reads cpu, memory, ephemeral-storage and hugepages lines straight from a Pod or Deployment manifest
Totals requests and limits across containers, using exact integer math with no floating point rounding

Use Cases

Track down an OOMKilled container whose memory limit was written as 512M instead of 512Mi
Convert a node's 15.5Gi of allocatable memory into Mi before sizing pod requests
Check a Helm values file for CPU requests written as 0.0005 instead of 1m
Add up requests across a multi-container pod for a ResourceQuota in a namespace
Explain why kubectl shows 1500m when the manifest said 1.5
Compare memory figures from a cloud bill in GB with Kubernetes limits in Gi

What is the difference between Mi and M in Kubernetes?

Mi is a mebibyte, 1,048,576 bytes, a power of two. M is a megabyte, 1,000,000 bytes, a power of ten. So a 512M limit is about 488Mi, 4.6% less than 512Mi, and the gap grows with the unit: 1G is only 0.93Gi. Case matters too. M is megabytes, but lowercase m means milli, a thousandth, so memory: 400m asks for 0.4 bytes and almost always means 400Mi. For CPU, m is the normal unit: 250m is a quarter of a core, and Kubernetes documents 1m as the finest CPU precision it accepts.
