How to mock resource request limits in Python

A Python class that simulates CPU and memory limit checks for resource requests, returning clear acceptance or rejection messages.

resource-limits mock class
Python
class ResourceLimits:
    def __init__(self, cpu_limit, memory_limit):
        self.cpu_limit = cpu_limit
        self.memory_limit = memory_limit

    def check_request(self, cpu, memory):
        if cpu > self.cpu_limit:
            return "CPU limit exceeded: {cpu} > {limit}".format(cpu=cpu, limit=self.cpu_limit)

How to simulate a database migration init container mock in Python

A mock init container that runs environment checks and a staged database migration job before the main application starts, printing progress to stdout.

init-container migration simulation
Python
```python
class MigrationJob:
    def __init__(self, name, steps):
        self.name = name
        self.steps = steps
        self.current_step = 0
        self.status = "pending"

    def run(self):
        print(f"Initializing migration job: {self.name}")
        for step in self.steps:
