## About this task

Informer pod memory consumption depends mainly on the number of resources contained in the cluster. Set the Informer pod's memory limit to at least (number of pods)/8MB, with a minimum of 200MB. For example:  

|-|-|-|-|
| Estimated pod count | 1000 | 5000 | 30000 |
| Minimum memory limit | 200Mi | 625Mi | 3.75Gi |
