How can you specify the size of a Docker container?

In Docker, you can specify the size of a container using the following command:

  1. Specify the memory limit for the container using the –memory parameter. For example, running ‘docker run –memory=”2g” image_name’ sets the memory limit for the container to 2GB.
  2. Specify the number of CPU cores that a container can use with the –cpus parameter. For example, running docker run –cpus=2 image_name will limit the container to using 2 CPU cores.
  3. Specify the amount of swap space a container can use by using the –memory-swap parameter. For example, running docker run –memory-swap=”4g” image_name will limit the container’s swap space usage to 4GB.
  4. Specify the storage limitations of a container using the –storage-opt parameter. For example, running docker run –storage-opt size=10G image_name will limit the container’s storage size to 10GB.

It is important to note that these parameters can be used individually or combined to specify the size limits of the container. Additionally, these parameters can also be used in Docker Compose files to specify the container size.
