High RAM usage #41

Closed keyctl closed 4 years ago

keyctl commented 4 years ago

During development, the high RAM usage of our setup always kept me concerned as it monotonically increased. The further we advance in our setup, the more RAM we will need.

We should see if we're able to lower our requirements

to make it possible to run more machines during development and
to make sure other teams can run our setup.

I've identified two potential sources of unjustified RAM usages, which are

the Ansible master using 1024 MB of RAM instead of 512 and
the client not having RAM capacity specified at all.

@Miro-H Do you remember if giving the Ansible master 1 GB of RAM was necessary?

No, it was a precautionary measure since running the whole playbook takes a while and I didn't want low RAM to be a restriction.

We can easily test what RAM is necessary by changing the ram in the VirtualBox settings, without rebuilding the infrastructure.
