My point was that when you have lots of containers their summary memory limit can be much higher then available RAM. This allows bursts of memory usage for containers, since it is very unlikely for all of them to consume the memory simulatenously. E.g. hosters usually oversell memory say 2 times on the node. So the question was whether it is possbile to overcommit memory with NUMA emulation?
