Maintainers

This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit sous-chefs.org (opens in a new tab) or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in #sous-chefs (opens in a new tab).

Example usage

control_groups_entry 'lackresources' do
  memory('memory.limit_in_bytes' => '1M')
  cpu('cpu.shares' => 1)
end
 
control_groups_rule 'someuser' do
  controllers [:cpu, :memory]
  destination 'lackresources'
end

This will restrict all processes created by someuser into the lackresources control group.
