In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into cgroups v2, the kernel feature that underpins container resource management. They explain how cgroups limit CPU, memory, and I/O for individual processes, and how systemd integrates with cgroups to manage services. The conversation covers the shift from cgroups v1 to v2, the role of cgroups in container runtimes like Docker and Kubernetes, and a practical example of setting memory limits. They also touch on why cgroups matter for security and multi-tenant environments. If you've ever wondered how your containers stay within their resource bounds, this episode breaks it down with clarity and real-world context.
