Rework documentation

Remove the cgroup schema as it's not really actionnable => the link to
kubernetes documenation and design doc over here already has that stuff.

 To avoid the rivals for resources between containers or the impact on the host in Kubernetes, the kubelet components will rely on cgroups to limit the container’s resources usage.
 
-## Enforcing Node Allocatable
+## Node Allocatable
 
-You can use `kubelet_enforce_node_allocatable` to set node allocatable enforcement.
+Node Allocatable is calculated by substracting from the node capacity:
 
-```yaml
-# A comma separated list of levels of node allocatable enforcement to be enforced by kubelet.
-kubelet_enforce_node_allocatable: "pods"
-# kubelet_enforce_node_allocatable: "pods,kube-reserved"
-# kubelet_enforce_node_allocatable: "pods,kube-reserved,system-reserved"
-```
-
-Note that to enforce kube-reserved or system-reserved, `kube_reserved_cgroups` or `system_reserved_cgroups` needs to be specified respectively.
+- kube-reserved reservations
+- system-reserved reservations
+- hard eviction thresholds
 
-Here is an example:
+You can set those reservations:
 
 ```yaml
-kubelet_enforce_node_allocatable: "pods,kube-reserved,system-reserved"
-
-# Reserve this space for kube resources
-# Set to true to reserve resources for kube daemons
-kube_reserved: true
-kube_reserved_cgroups_for_service_slice: kube.slice
-kube_reserved_cgroups: "/{{ kube_reserved_cgroups_for_service_slice }}"
+# Kubelet and container engine
 kube_memory_reserved: 256Mi
 kube_cpu_reserved: 100m
-# kube_ephemeral_storage_reserved: 2Gi
-# kube_pid_reserved: "1000"
-# Reservation for master hosts
-kube_master_memory_reserved: 512Mi
-kube_master_cpu_reserved: 200m
-# kube_master_ephemeral_storage_reserved: 2Gi
-# kube_master_pid_reserved: "1000"
+kube_ephemeral_storage_reserved: 2Gi
+kube_pid_reserved: "1000"
 
-# Set to true to reserve resources for system daemons
-system_reserved: true
-system_reserved_cgroups_for_service_slice: system.slice
-system_reserved_cgroups: "/{{ system_reserved_cgroups_for_service_slice }}"
+# System daemons (sshd, network manager, ...)
 system_memory_reserved: 512Mi
 system_cpu_reserved: 500m
-# system_ephemeral_storage_reserved: 2Gi
-# system_pid_reserved: "1000"
-# Reservation for master hosts
-system_master_memory_reserved: 256Mi
-system_master_cpu_reserved: 250m
-# system_master_ephemeral_storage_reserved: 2Gi
-# system_master_pid_reserved: "1000"
+system_ephemeral_storage_reserved: 2Gi
+system_pid_reserved: "1000"
 ```
 
-After the setup, the cgroups hierarchy is as follows:
+By default, the kubelet will enforce Node Allocatable for pods by default, which means pods will be
+evicted when resource usage excess Allocatable.
+
+You can optionnaly enforce the reservations for kube-reserved and
+system-reserved, but proceed with caution (see [the kubernetes
+guidelines](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/reserve-compute-resources/#general-guidelines)).
