When cooking I get the following error:
CommandletException: Editor terminated with exit code 137 (signal 9) while running Cook for /home/ubuntu/Azure-Agent/_work/1/s/CesiumDemo.uproject; see log /home/ubuntu/Library/Logs/Unreal Engine/LocalBuildLogs/Cook-2022.10.13-15.30.35.txt

After some research exit code 137 tells me that its an out of memory error. I have the packaging process running on an AWS EC2 instance with 16gb of RAM. I tried applying the process to a CGroup where I limited the RAM to some arbituary number (12GB) to ensure I wouldn’t go over the maximum.
This works, as I monitor the RAM usage using watch -n 1 free -m it shows me that I have excess RAM. However, this line inside the log tells me it is still trying to access 16GB of RAM.
LogInit: - Physical RAM available (not considering process quota): 16 GB (15732 MB, 16110168 KB, 16496812032 bytes)
This tells me that I need to limit the memory allocation inside unreal itself. I’ve searched the following answers that haven’t seemed to fix anything:
- Set r.MemoryLimiter [source]
- MaxMemoryAllowance in BaseEditor.ini (Cannot find reference to this value in any ini config file) [source]
I can’t seem to find any documentation on config files and allocating a set amount of RAM. Does anyone know where I can set these values?
