Currently playing around with a k3s master and two agent nodes in my oVirt environment.

I have noticed that my master node always seems to have high memory usage. Currently this VM has 4 CPU cores and 5GB of memory and never runs below 70% memory usage.

Agents are very low memory and cpu.

The master, yesterday was rocking about 98% memory usage and 100% CPU. I had to kill the VM and do a hard reset.

Anyone have any ideas of what I could try?
