• Secure by default
• Always up to date
• Improve container experience
• Operate at scale / automation / telemetry

The package will increase the image size by: 0.8 MBytes.

• Very limited

Benefits of adding this package
Flatcar has some light documentation on using zram swap: https://flatcar-linux.org/docs/latest/setup/storage/adding-swap/#using-zram but its manual.
Being able to use zram-generator will:

1. Automate the process of zram swap creation
2. Enable easy config for the swap size logic (Fedora's default is 1:1 system memory or 8GB - whichever is smaller, example config: zram-size = min(ram, 8192))
3. Manage creating of swap - no need to try and hand craft system unit files to load modules, create device, turn it on, etc.
