Hi!
One of my client recently got blocked because of CPU abuse (load average was on ~2000 value :oops:) on his LXC container. Causing the node to crash.

I recreated the enviroment at test node and started trying to prevent this abuse - It was some kind of request generator for DoS attacks that are beeing filtered by firewalls further but still user can abuse the node CPU/RAM potentialy causing hardware to degrade over time. This VPS was hacked because of client's password policy that was... It just wastn't good enough... :rolleyes:

Is there any method for proxmox to detect this kind of abuse and shutdown the container immediately after reaching load higher than vCPU's count? Or prevent this in other way?
