Is it possible to pass resources limits and requests on initContainers?

[prachiwaghulkar]

Is there a way to pass resource limits and request on all initContainers that are being created? Tried passing through spec.templates.spec.initContainers.resources but seems to not work since the initContainers didn't catch the data.

Expected behaviour:
We should be able to pass resource limits and requests to initContainers.

initContainers:
- command:
- cp
- version-upgrade-hook
- /hooks/version-upgrade
name: mongod-posthook
resources:
requests:
cpu: ..
memory: ..
limits:
cpu: ..
memory: ..
- command:
- cp
- /probes/readinessprobe
- /opt/scripts/readinessprobe
name: mongodb-agent-readinessprobe
resources:
requests:
cpu: ..
memory: ..
limits:
cpu: ..
memory: ..

Hey @prachiwaghulkar

Yes - it is possible to override the resource requirements for init containers. You'll need to make sure you specify the correct name of the init-container in the override. We have added a sample here: https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-kubernetes-operator/blob/master/config/samples/mongodb.com_v1_mongodbcommunity_specify_pod_resources.yaml .

Could you please double-check the sample and apply the CR and re-open the issue if it still persists(do attach the CR yaml you're applying).

Thanks
