Without cgroups, a single runaway process could starve an entire system of CPU, memory, or I/O, leading to instability and service outages. Understanding the evolution from cgroups v1 to cgroups v2 is crucial for anyone managing containerized workloads, as it represents a significant architectural shift with profound implications for resource predictability, isolation, and overall system performance.</p>
