In a scaled 800-node cluster, running the starboard-operator with KE results in 1600 pods being created for kube-bench. Since kube-bench is an internal Aqua component, its evaluation can be safely skipped. By excluding kube-bench from the starboard-operator's scope, we can reduce the overall memory consumption of the starboard-operator, optimizing its performance in large-scale environments.
