I have an ECS Fargate task running an ASP.NET image and I have noticed that it keeps failing due to OOM exception. I can look in CloudWatch and the memory keeps increasing. When I run in a local docker container, I can see that the garbage collector is running correctly and there is no memory problem. I have seen people suggest to set Server GC to false, but I'm not sure if that is the problem. From what I have read this should have been fixed in previous versions (I am using asp.net 5). Is this expected and is the correct approach to set this to false?
That is where I have seen the ability to turn off server garbage collection. Do you know if this is a known issue?
no, there is no known issue. However, if there are dangling references, GC has no way to cleanup. I'll suggest to look into code. Profiling may help
I mentioned that this is not been in a local docker container. GC works just fine, which is what is leading me to think it's an ECS issue or at least difference
