Challenge
Run Tests to See Your Resource Limits Take Effect
In each container, run this code and observe the resource usage with
htop
in the third terminal session:import threading def test(): while True: 1000*1000 threading.Thread(target=test).start() threading.Thread(target=test).start() threading.Thread(target=test).start() threading.Thread(target=test).start() threading.Thread(target=test).start()
