FBOMB

The bad idea I had while testing my Docker EE lab.

There is a feature within Docker that allows you to restrict CPU resources, I merely wanted to test that.

CPU

By default, each container’s access to the host machine’s CPU cycles is unlimited. You can set various constraints to limit a given container’s access to the host machine’s CPU cycles. Most users will use and configure the default CFS scheduler. In Docker 1.13 and higher, you can also configure the realtime scheduler.

"--cpus=" Specify how much of the available CPU resources a container can use. For instance, if the host machine has two CPUs and you set --cpus="1.5", the container will be guaranteed to be able to access at most one and a half of the CPUs. This is the equivalent of setting --cpu-period="100000" and --cpu-quota="150000".

Example: "docker run -d --name fbomb --cpus=0.1 shaker242/fbomb"
