[Lxc-users] total RAM limit

[Gary Ballantyne]

Hello All

I understand that I can limit the RAM of a single container via 
lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes. But, is there a way to limit the total 
RAM available to all containers (without limiting each individually)?

E.g., say we have 4G available. Rather than specifying a maximum number 
of containers (16 with 250M say), I'd like to allocate 4G to all 
containers, without a hard upper limit on the number of containers (16 
in this case), and let the performance degrade gradually as more 
containers are added. (I'm anticipating being able to use many more 
containers this way, since our container's RAM usage is likely to be 
bursty).

Many thanks

Gary
