Description
**Image I'm using:**
AMI ID: ami-0f3b9574af04c5bf4
BottleRocket Release: bottlerocket-aws-k8s-1.28-x86_64-v1.16.0-d2d9cf87
**What I expected to happen:**
After switching from the standard Amazon Linux 2 AMI for EKS, we rolled out the nodes with BottleRocket. The workloads should have stayed with the same performance benchmark.
**What actually happened:**
We noticed some of the same workloads which we had before utilize much more memory than before and reach OOM. After making the memory limit larger, it set on a certain number, which was higher by about 1-1.5 GiB than the memory usage before.
**How to reproduce the problem:**
Deploy various kind of workloads firstly on any standard Amazon Linux 2 AMI on EKS, and then update the nodes to be Bottlerocket using a rolling update. Measure the workloads' memory utilization.
