It's very tricky...

Memory is adjusted automatically to the container size [1] (of course you may override it by supplying Xmx or "-n" as parameters [2]). The safe limit is roughly Xmx=Xms=50% of container capacity (unless you do the off-heap, that you can squeeze Infinispan much, much more).

Then there are Limits, Requests and QoS in Kubernetes [3][4]. We are in bustable memory category so if there is additional memory in the node, we'll get it. But if not, we won't go below 512 MB (and 500 mCPU).

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

How do you change memory settings for Infinispan started via service catalog?

The memory settings seem defined in [1], but this is not one of the parameters supported.

I guess we want this as parameter?

Cheers,
