Ensuring virtual memory kernel settings

If you are intending to run production workloads on GKE Autopilot then vm.max_map_count should be set. The recommended way to set this kernel setting on the Autopilot hosts is with a Daemonset as described in the Virtual memory section. You must be running at least version 1.25 when on the regular channel or using the rapid channel, which currently runs version 1.27.

Warning

Only use the provided Daemonset exactly as specified or it could be rejected by the Autopilot control plane.
