Summary
NBS7 Helm charts for elasticsearch, nifi, and modernization-api either had only resources.limits (no requests) or oversized defaults for Small STLT clusters. When only limits are defined, Kubernetes auto-sets requests equal to limits — meaning Elasticsearch alone was guaranteeing 6GB on a node that only has 8GB. This caused node crashes on dev73 when multiple pods landed on the same node.
