Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ECK - Increase default Kibana memory limit to 2Gi
Updated the memory limits for {{kib}} from 1Gi to 2Gi to ensure sufficient resources for core functionality and prevent service interruptions.
Closes https://github.com/elastic/docs-content/issues/6581

Consider that Kubernetes throttles containers exceeding the CPU limit defined in the `limits` section. Do not set this value too low, or it would affect the performance of your workloads, even if you have enough resources available in the Kubernetes cluster.
-Also, to minimize disruption caused by Pod evictions due to resource contention, you can run Pods at the "Guaranteed" QoS level by setting both `requests` and `limits` to the same value.

+The default 1 Gi {{kib}} memory limit is sufficient for core functionality. However, Platinum and Enterprise features such as Security detection rules, reporting, workflows, and Agent Builder can require additional memory. For these use cases, we recommend increasing the memory limit to at least 2 Gi per {{kib}} instance to avoid service interruptions.
