Bug Description

ram-allocation-ratio defaults to 1.5 but, IMO, this is dangerous and
can (and has for us) lead to OOMs kills on compute hosts.

Please consider lowering this to 1 or 0.9. Please also consider
adding some text to config.yaml which talks about how this ratio will need to be
adjusted in a converged or hyper-converged architecture.

    Adjust default of ``ram-allocation-ratio`` configuration option

    In modern hyper-converged architectures the upstream default of
    1.5 does not really fit.

    Set to 0.98 to give some headroom on the compute nodes and add
    a note about the potential need to adjust this value further.
