## Linux control groups

Also known as cgroups, they are used to restrict resource usage for a container and handle
device access. cgroups provide controls to restrict cpu, memory, IO, and network for
the container. For more information, see the [kernel cgroups documentation](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt)
Also known as cgroups, they are used to restrict resource usage for a container and handle device access.
For more information, see the [kernel cgroups documentation][cgroups].
You can configure a container's cgroups via the "resources" field of the Linux configuration.

### Devices

Container-side devices are [mounted from the bundle filesystems][mount-devices].
Bundle authors can set major and minor nodes, owner IDs, filesystem permissions, etc. by altering those filesystems.
However, you cannot pass cgroup information via the bundle filesystem, so bundle authors that need special device cgroups should use the "devices" field of the resource configuration.
The fields are discussed [in the kernel documentation][cgroups-devices].
The entries are applied to the container in the order that they are listed in the configuration.

```json
"devices": [
{
"allow": false,
"type": "a",
"major": "*",
"minor": "*",
"access": "rwm",
},
{
"allow": true,
"type": "c",
"major": "1",
"minor": "3",
"access": "mr",
}
]
