Determines whether the container creates cgroups.

<< if is_quadlet >> By default, the cgroups mode of the container created by Quadlet is split, which differs from the default (enabled) used by the Podman CLI.

If the container joins a pod (i.e. Pod= is specified), you may want to change this to no-conmon or enabled so that pod level cgroup resource limits can take effect. << else >> Default is enabled. << endif >>

The enabled option creates a new cgroup under the cgroup-parent. The disabled option forces the container to not create cgroups, and thus conflicts with cgroup options (--cgroupns and --cgroup-parent). The no-conmon option disables a new cgroup only for the conmon process. The split option splits the current cgroup in two sub-cgroups: one for conmon and one for the container payload. It is not possible to set --cgroup-parent with split.
