  Burstable QoS pods. For Best-Effort/Guaranteed QoS pods, swap would be disabled.
  
  Containers with memory requests equal to their memory limits also won't have
  swap access, and it is a way to opt-out of swap for a single container.
  
  The formula for the swap limit for Burstable QoS pods is:
  `(<memory-request>/<node-memory-capacity>)*<node-swap-capacity>`.
  

  // Must be an empty string (default) or Memory.
  // More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes#emptydir
  // +optional
  optional string medium = 1;

  // sizeLimit is the total amount of local storage required for this EmptyDir volume.
  // The size limit is also applicable for memory medium.
  // The maximum usage on memory medium EmptyDir would be the minimum value between

- Graduated the following kubelet resource metrics to **general availability**:
  - `container_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `container_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `container_start_time_seconds`
  - `node_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `node_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `pod_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `pod_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `resource_scrape_error`
