Create and Manage Container Placements
You can use placements and placement settings to limit and reserve resources. You can also set a priority to the reserved amount of CPU or memory. Select a project for your placement and provision templates to that project to use the placement resourcing.
Prerequisite
Verify that at least one host is configured and available.
Procedure
- In the management portal, navigate to Policies > Placements and click Add.
- In the Add Placement dialog box, configure the new placement settings and click Save.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Enter a name for your placement. |
| Project | Assign the placement to a project. When you provision new templates to that project, you utilize the placement configuration. |
| Placement Zone | Select a placement zone from the list to assign the placement to a host. |
| Priority | (Optional) Enter a priority value for the placement. Higher value results in higher prioritized resourcing of the provisioned containers in the placement zone. |
| Instances | (Optional) Enter a number to limit the count of provisioned instances up to that number. For unlimited count, leave empty. |
| Memory Limit | (Optional) Limits the maximum amount of memory that the placement uses. For unlimited usage, leave empty. |
