Description

Bonfire uses "--remove-resources all" option by default. This causes that host-inventory doesn't have enough resources in ephemeral environment, which causes host-inventory-service to restart randomly and reject some requests.

The issue has been fixed on the host-inventory PR check by adding host-inventory to the "COMPONENTS_W_RESOURCES" env variable, but I'm afraid other PR checks might still see the issues, because a lot of different apps PR checks are dependent on Inventory too.

I see 3 options to fix the issue globally:

• Update bonfire to use "--no-remove-resources host-inventory" by default
• Update bonfire to give host-inventory more resources with "--remove-resources host-inventory"
• Stop using "--remove-resources all" by default

I would suggest the last one. I don't think ignoring things from the config files implicitly is a good practice. It can cause a lot of trouble to users which are not familiar with every bonfire option and don't know that this is the default behavior. I think a better way to limit spending would be checking that the services don't use excessive amount of resources in their app-interface config files in combination with some maximum limit for the resources requests.
