Dear all,
I’m setting up a new LXD host with several containers. I have two simple classes of service: high priority and low priority.
The desired outcome:
- when the high priority containers are doing nothing, the low priority containers can use the cpu as they wish to the point that one container may even spike briefly and use all cpus at max
- whenever the high priority containers are doing stuff, they should split 80% all the cpus among themselves leaving 20% to the low priority class
is this possible?
I was reading https://stgraber.org/2016/03/26/lxd-2-0-resource-control-412/ , the cpu section, and there’s a “Give me 20% of whatever you have” which sounded like the above, but it’s not clear how that’d work with the concept of classes if it does at all. If I set or low priority containers at 20% and one went off, wouldn’t the others immediately be capped at 20%? does it mean the other low container would be capped at 80%? What happens if at that point a high profile container kicks in? all the low profile containers start using 20%?
thank you for your help,
Spike
