<p>I'd like to know the current limit on the RAM. (No limit/request was explicitly configured.) </p>

<p>How do I see the current configuration of an existing pod?</p>

<p>[Edit] That configuration would include not only how much memory is now in use, but also the  max-limit, the point at which it would be shut down.</p>

<p>(If I  blow up the heap with huge strings, I see a limit of approx 4 GB, and the Google Cloud Console shows a crash at 5.4 GB (which of course includes more than the Python interpreter), but I don't know where  this comes from. The Nodes have up to 10 GB.)</p>

<p>I tried <code>kubectl get pod id-for-the-pod -o yaml</code>, but it shows nothing about memory.</p>

<p>I am using Google Container Engine.</p>

<p>Use kubectl top command</p>
<p><code>kubectl top pod id-for-the-pod</code></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>kubectl top</strong> --help</p>
<p>Display Resource (CPU/Memory/Storage) usage.</p>
<p>The top command allows you to see the resource consumption for nodes
or pods.</p>
<p>This command requires Heapster to be correctly configured and working
on the server.</p>
<p>Available Commands:   node        Display Resource
