Im trying to bring up a cluster in kubernetes. Having issues getting anything like the kind of performance I would expect (these are big k8 machines with nothing else running). Looking at the elastic processes running on each box I see jvm settings like this:

"/opt/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java -Xms1g -Xmx1g .... -Xms20g -Xmx20g ... "

The 20g values are what I set in the kubernetes yml config. Somewhere in the container config it's getting those 1g settings. How would I correct this?
