Forkbomb in container [message #49412]

Hi everybody,

i'm trying to make hardening on containers to make users unable to damage the host node. I just tried a forkbomb in a container using python

import os
while True:
os.fork()

Running htop on my host node, I see that CPU usage is 100% on all cores, even if i setted params like cpuunit, cpus, cpulimit in configuration file.

How can I struggle against this ?

All my containers are precreated debian templates Wink
