Because the moment you use k8s, you have to assume that, apparently. Or so Im told by all the infrastructure people I speak with. Getting these pods to not disappear just because one process ran out of memory has been an herculean task.

I wish our standard deploy processes produce durable computers that dont break our bank but that hasn't been an easy requirement with simple infra teams.
