aka control groups. Allow you to allocate resources like CPU, memory, network bandwidth, into user-defined groups of tasks.
cgroupv2
Usually mounted as a pseudo-filesystem at /sys/fs/cgroup
.
Initially, only the root cgroup exists to which all processes belong. A child cgroup can be created by creating a sub-directory: /sys/fs/cgroup/<child_cgroup>
- writing a PID to
/sys/fs/cgroup/<child_cgroup>/cgroup.procs
adds it to that cgroup - writing
"1"
to/sys/fs/cgroup/<child_cgroup>/cgroup.kill
will kill the whole cgroup
