CFS quotas can lead to unnecessary throttling in OpenShift Container Platform
Issue
- On OpenShift with hard cpu limits we noticed java applications were not be allowed to use their entire quota. This particularly affected massively threaded applications. For example if you assign 1 cpu to an application, it only ever maxed out at using .1 cpu while also hitting throttling the entire time it was running. This results in having to massively over-provision applications thereby wasting resources on the nodes.
