How to use

Starting with version 3.0.0, memcached will be listening on 127.0.0.1 only.
This should make setups more secure (e.g. if there are no firewall rules in place).

To change this behavior, you need to set listen_ip to '0.0.0.0'.

Use roughly 90% of memory

    class { 'memcached': }

Set a fixed memory limit in MB

    class { 'memcached':
      max_memory => 2048
    }

Use 12% of available memory

    class { 'memcached':
      max_memory => '12%'
    }
