Exploring the effects of discrepancies between resource specifications and resource usage

The output, limited to the relevant parts, is as follows:

apiVersion: apps/v1beta2

            memory: 10Mi 
            cpu: 0.5 
          requests: 
            memory: 5Mi 
            cpu: 0.3 

The memory limit is set to 10Mi and the request to 5Mi. Since we already know from Heapster's data that MongoDB requires around 38Mi, memory resources ...
