Description
Memory limits must be defined for every container. This prevents resource exhaustion by ensuring containers do not exceed their allocated memory. The rule validates both container and init_container entries (array or object forms) and requires resources, resources.limits, and resources.limits.memory to be set; it reports a MissingAttribute when any are missing.
