cgroups are from Google. https://lwn.net/Articles/199643/

Yes but I don't see how you are addressing what I wrote. What are you getting at?

  • Oh, maybe my first post was poorly worded. cgroups used ideas about resource management that came from IBM, who had resource maangement before Google was a company and their CKRM was an earlier proposal. For whatever reason, cgroups won. But they also mostly came about due to Google's internal resource management, not so much security.
