Description Clayton Coleman 2020-11-05 21:40:30 UTC
When we removed the memory limits on all other components (and set proportional CPU and minimim floor requests) in the control plane, we must have missed DNS.

DNS should not set a memory limit because limits can be managed by the OS and crash failing (limits are just worse failing).  The memory request should already be roughly equal to the default memory usage in an idle state per node.

No need to backport unless we have evidence DNS gets excessively OOMKilled.

checked the cluster that launched by cluster-bot: 4.7.0-0.latest, openshift/cluster-dns-operator#207 

the memory limit has been removed from ds/dns-default

# oc -n openshift-dns get ds/dns-default -oyaml
<---snip--->
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: 50m
            memory: 70Mi
