Ensure that all statefulsets has resource limits
Medium Severity
When deploying an application, it is important to tune based on memory and CPU consumption, allocating enough resources for the application to function properly. Images provided by OpenShift Dedicated behave properly within the confines of the memory they are allocated. However, any application images must pay attention to the specific resources required to ensure they are available. If the node where a Pod is running has enough of a resource available, it's possible (and allowed) for a container to use more resource than its request for that resource specifies. However, a container is not allowed to use more than its resource limit.
