Cgroups

Cgroups (control groups) are a Linux kernel feature that organizes processes into hierarchical groups and limits their resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O). Essential for containerization, cgroups prevent containers from monopolizing host resources, ensuring system stability and performance. Use cgcreate to create groups, assign processes, and set resource limits effectively.
