The grandparents comment was targeted at cgroups in general. You can’t use cgroups without cgroups. To add on that: IMHO, both systemd and docker made cgroups much more accessible to joe sysadmin and while they’re not a bulletproof security feature, having them (and capabilities, another kernel feature exposed by systemd) in wider use is generally a good thing.
- dijit 8y ago> cgroups without cgroups. I've been charring my brain to understand what you mean by this. You don't need to have cgroups for all applications in order to use them. And they don't need to be implemented by systemd specifically for them to be in use by other init's or tools. SystemD existing (and being pushed so heavily) stymies the rise of such init systems.
- Xylakant 8y agoThe post I was referring to criticizes cgroups in general, regardless of how they are managed or used.
