The windows/cpu isolator allows operators to provide CPU limitations and CPU usage accounting for containers within a Mesos cluster. To enable the windows/cpu isolator, append windows/cpu to the --isolation flag when starting the Mesos agent.
The windows/mem isolator allows operators to provide memory limitations and memory usage accounting for containers within a Mesos cluster. To enable the windows/mem isolator, append windows/mem to the --isolation flag when starting the Mesos agent.
Both of these isolators apply to commands launched by the Mesos Containerizer, which are grouped into a Windows Job Object. They do not apply to Windows Containers or Docker Containers.
The windows/cpu isolator sets a hard cap on the CPU usage, enforced by the operating system. This uses Job Object CPU Rate Control:
Sets the maximum portion of processor cycles that the threads in a job object can use during each scheduling interval. After the job reaches this limit for a scheduling interval, no threads associated with the job can run until the next scheduling interval.
NOTE: This does not support bursting. Unlike the similarly named cgroups/cpu isolator, this is a hard cap, not a soft cap.
This isolator exports several valuable per-container CPU usage metrics that are available from agent's monitor/statistics endpoint.
processes - number of processes in the job object;cpus_user_time_secs - time spent by tasks of the job object in user mode;cpus_system_time_secs - time spent by tasks of the job object in kernel mode.The windows/memory isolator sets a hard cap on the virtual memory usage, enforced by the operating system. This uses Job Object Limit Job Memory:
Sets the limit for the virtual memory that can be committed for the job. When a process attempts to commit memory that would exceed the job-wide limit, it fails.
This isolator exports valuable per-container memory usage metrics that are available from agent's monitor/statistics endpoint.
mem_total_bytes - sum of the current working set size for all processes in the job object. This does not include memory that is swapped out.
