Hi, folks,
We would like to run a container on a server, the reason being the COST of a Sybase license (it's by core), and what we can afford is a 4-core license. Now, the server's a nice Dell w/ 32 cores, so, ideally, what we want to do is set up containers, then, in one container, *only* have it see 4 cores, while the rest of the server, including (possibly) other containers, can see the other 28. The first try seems to have disabled *all* the cores other than those four.
Is it possible to do what we want, and if so, some pointers would be most appreciated.
Docker has the --cpu option that might do what you need.
You can also do this without a container: http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2014/11/04/restricting-process-cpu-usage-u...
Another option is to use KVM and Libvirt (and virt-manager if you need a GUI)
