Set a value for resources.limits.memory.
Example Configuration
resource "kubernetes_pod" "allowed" {
metadata {
name = "terraform-example608"
}
spec {
container {
resources {
limits = {
memory = "512Mi"
}
}
image = "nginx:1.7.9"
name = "example608"
}
dns_config {
nameservers = ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8", "9.9.9.9"]
searches = ["example.com"]
}
dns_policy = "ClusterFirst"
}
