In some cases only the resource limit or only the resource request is being set. Or in other cases, bonfire will remove one of these settings because it finds the parameter name to be un-trusted. If bonfire strips either the limit or the request of the resource config, it causes Clowder to use the environment default for the other one. If the request:limit ratio is off, then the pod won't spin up. This causes problems in the ephemeral environment.
