Description of PR
Increase the memory and swap limits of the PTF container to 64 GB.
This is necessary for handling the increased memory consumption from the additional
exabgpprocesses as a result of the additional number of VM peers of the larger topologies.Summary:
Fixes # (issue)
Type of change
Back port request
Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
To prevent the PTF container from running out of memory when setting up a tesbed for a topology with a large number of VMs.
How did you do it?
Increased the memory/swap limits of the PTF docker container in the ansible playbook.
How did you verify/test it?
Ran the setup with the new memory limits and confirmed that the setup now succeeds.
