I have seen interesting behavior on this topic recently:

Should this trendline ever go above the redline?

The max memory was set with `-m 10000` which is ~2gb below the pod resource request of `12000`. The JVM restarted 42 times, about every 10 minutes, so we took some corrective actions:

1. Increased pod limits to be more than the requests, from 12000 memory to 16000 memory, and 2 CPU to 8 CPU.
2. Updated ignition.conf to have init-memory and max-memory limits to be at 10000 to match `-m 10000` configuration.

As a background, I have restored a `.gwbk` for initial configuration from another gateway, which had a setting of `56000` max memory in the file. Since the change where `ignition.conf` setting matched `-m`, it only went above the redline once, (I think thanks to max pod limit increase to 16000 the wrapper didn't send a SIGKILL (9)?) and has been stable since then.
