What is Ulimits?
Ulimits (user limits) are Linux kernel features that restrict resources like file handles and memory that processes can consume. In containerization, ulimits prevent rogue processes from exhausting server resources and creating denial-of-service situations. Use ulimit -a to view current limits and ulimit -n 1024 to set specific limits for optimal container performance and security.
