runc-update(8)

NAME
runc-update - update running container resource constraints

SYNOPSIS
runc update [option ...] container-id

runc update -r resources.json|- container-id

DESCRIPTION
The update command change the resource constraints of a running container instance.

The resources can be set using options, or, if -r is used, parsed from JSON provided as a file or from stdin.

In case -r is used, the JSON format is like this:
    {
    	"memory": {
    		"limit": 0,
    			"reservation": 0,
    			"swap": 0,
    			"kernel": 0,
    			"kernelTCP": 0
    	},
    		"cpu": {
    			"shares": 0,
    			"quota": 0,
    			"burst": 0,
    			"period": 0,
    			"realtimeRuntime": 0,
    			"realtimePeriod": 0,
    			"cpus": "",
    			"mems": ""
    		},
    		"blockIO": {
    			"blkioWeight": 0
    		}
    }

OPTIONS

--resources|-r resources.json
    Read the new resource limits from resources.json. Use - to read from stdin. If this option is used, all other options are ignored.

--blkio-weight weight
    Set a new io weight.

--cpu-period num
    Set CPU CFS period to be used for hardcapping (in microseconds)

--cpu-quota num
    Set CPU usage limit within a given period (in microseconds).

--cpu-burst num
    Set CPU burst limit within a given period (in microseconds).

--cpu-rt-period num
    Set CPU realtime period to be used for hardcapping (in microseconds).

--cpu-rt-runtime num
    Set CPU realtime hardcap limit (in usecs). Allowed cpu time in a given period.

--cpu-share num
    Set CPU shares (relative weight vs. other containers).

--cpuset-cpus list
    Set CPU(s) to use. The list can contain commas and ranges. For example: 0-3,7.

--cpuset-mems list
    Set memory node(s) to use. The list format is the same as for --cpuset-cpus.

--memory num
    Set memory limit to num bytes.

--memory-reservation num
    Set memory reservation, or soft limit, to num bytes.

--memory-swap num
    Set total memory + swap usage to num bytes. Use -1 to unset the limit (i.e. use unlimited swap).

--pids-limit num
    Set the maximum number of processes allowed in the container. Use -1 to unset the limit.

--l3-cache-schema value
    Set the value for Intel RDT/CAT L3 cache schema.

--mem-bw-schema value
    Set the Intel RDT/MBA memory bandwidth schema.
