[kata-dev] kata-agent getting OOM-killed

Hey team,


What are the trade-offs between running agent as init and running it under systemd.

There is this interesting bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1890681 where the agent gets OOM-killed. That manifests itself with somewhat hard-to-diagnose symptoms. I opened https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/1111.

The solution Qian suggested was to set oom_score_adjust. I investigate that. But that made me wonder about the trade-off between using systemd and agent-as-init. Do we have this documented somewhere?


Thanks
Christophe
