Hey Alex, this looks very interesting! From browsing the docs it appears rpk tries to mess with cgroups and some kernel settings... is there compatibility mode for running unprivileged in a container environment such as kubernetes? Thanks!

The tuning isn't 100% necessary, it's there primarily for running max performance on metal, and you can pick and choose what to tune.

In general it probably best to run with:

--smp <n> --overprovisioned

for a container with <n> CPUs.

These are standard Seastar flags.
