<p>am I missing something?</p>

<p>From this error message</p>

<p>This part is root-cause.</p>
<pre><code>unmarshalerDecoder: 
quantities must match the regular expression 
'^([+-]?[0-9.]+)([eEinumkKMGTP]*[-+]?[0-9]*)$'
</code></pre>
<p>What <code>quantities</code> are there?
Seems like</p>
<pre><code>v1.ResourceRequirements.Requests: Limits:
</code></pre>
<p>So please, change <code>Requests.Limits</code> from <code>__PILLAR__DNS__MEMORY__LIMIT__</code> to other value.</p>
