Container Memory Pools

A Container Memory Pool helps with managing and controlling the memory allocated to Containers. Containers run in the ZCS engine and compete with each other. To avoid a situation where some Containers consume all of the memory resources potentially leaving other Containers unable to run, you can create Container Memory Pools. Each Container can be assigned to a Memory Pool, limiting it only to consume memory from that Pool. Containers that are not assigned to any specific Container Memory Pool consume memory from the default Memory Pool, which holds all the engine memory not allocated to any specific Container Memory Pool.
