What is cgroup in Kubernetes?

Question

Could someone tell me what is cgroup in Kubernetes?

Answer 1

Cgroup or Control Groups, in Kubernetes, are increasingly used for limiting the resources like CPU, and memory. And thus, cgroups do not isolate resources, rather they put limits to the resources and thus ensures that an application is not starving of other applications in cgroup.
