Elastic Search memory allocation failed when deploying to EC2

[ericmillsio]

Note for future EC2 usage by others:

I ran into a memory allocation failure when trying to launch the app within an EC2 t2.small instance. I solved this by using at least a t2.large instance because elastic search requires at least 4GB of memory.

Feb 20 01:27:37 ip-XXX-XX-XX-XX docker-compose[3339]: arcadeanalytics-elasticsearch_1  | # Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 4207738880 bytes for committing reserved memory.

Just made this issue to log it and be helpful for others. Closing it.

Thank you very much for the advice, I keep the issue open until we will document the installation process in a better way.
