cGroups provide a great way to manage system resource on a Linux system. They give an easy and straightforward interface to restrict or guarantee resources for any process. In most cases you just put a process inside a cgroup and forget about it, but in a highly dynamic environment, you need a way to monitor and change the restriction parameters of any cgroup. In this presentation, Viktor Petersson will talk about some of the cgroups basic features and how to script them with python and cgroupspy.
