OOM in Deploy Haproxy App on Kubernetes task

Kubernetes
#1

Hi,

The task says that I must define resource limit for memory with 50Mi but the container does not start as it complains about Out of memory.
What should I do ?

Containers:
  ingress-container-nautilus:

a process gets OOM killed if it tries to use more than the limit. If no limit is set, process can allocate as much as it wants but if there is a memory exhaustion, the only way to regain some free memory is to kill a process.

Please check this to get info about how to assign memory resources to pods and containers

thank you for the reply I know this but my question was something else.

kodekloud engineer task requires to set memory limit for a pod which is 50Mi whereas this value is a bit low and the pod does not start.

I think the task must be edited.
