Elastic container being evicted on kubernates over gcloud, I noted that the pod is consuming too much resources, over 5 gb of RAM, while the resource limits variables are not being set as you can see at the image bellow taked from the gcloud monitor panel, where the values are different from the config limits 2gb vs 3gb of RAM, 100m vs 2 of CPU
