Hi there,

We are using Proxmox 8.1, we have recently encountered an issue whereby an LXC container with 12 assigned cores caused a huge CPU load on the Proxmox host itself.
The 15 minute load average went up to 1000!
My question is, is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I'm currently looking at the documentation regarding CPU limiting, however this only seems to apply to the amount of already assigned cores if I'm correct?
If I'm not mistaken this logic should already be done by Proxmox too because of the cgroups?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Mervin
