  name: Memory requests not set in Deployments
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: Checks for missing memory requests in Kubernetes Deployments, which can lead to inefficient scheduling and potential node resource exhaustion.
  impact: |
    Missing memory requests in Kubernetes Deployments can lead to inefficient pod scheduling, causing potential resource exhaustion on nodes.
  remediation: Set memory requests for all containers in Kubernetes Deployments to ensure efficient pod scheduling and node resource utilization.
