I am not sure what is wrong:

```auto
elasticsearch@elasticsearch-es-default-0:~$ bin/elasticsearch-users list
command terminated with exit code 137

```

Any param I give to this cli command crashes the pod. it is running on `t3.medium` aws using aws linux distro

seems it needed quite big ram to run, probably because of jvm. I had to leave 1gb of free ram in the pod to be able to run this.
