Understanding and Working with the Cgroups Interface

Explore the intricacies of the cgroups (control group) interface in this informative 38-minute conference talk by Michael Anderson from The PTR Group, LLC. Delve into the major features of control groups and their applications in embedded development. Learn how cgroups, a key component of container models like Docker and LXC/LXD, can be leveraged for both control and debugging purposes. Discover the cgroups hierarchy, its implementation in various distributions, and its impact on block I/O, huge TLB, CPU monitoring, and memory control. Gain practical insights into working with the manual cgroups interface, utilizing cgroups tools, and implementing CPU sets. Enhance your understanding of this powerful kernel feature and its potential to optimize embedded systems development.
