Description of problem

Created a Kata container (in an OpenShift 4.7 pod) with a CPU resource request of 4 cores and no limit specified. The VM had only one vCPU assigned. If I set a resource limit of 4 cores in addition to the resource request, I get the requisite number of vCPUs.

Expected result

Receive a Kata container with a VM suitable for running a container requesting 4 cores (presumably at least 5 vCPU).

Actual result

Received a Kata VM with only one CPU assigned
