Resource Limits

Resource limits are restrictions set on how much of certain system components, like CPU, memory, or storage, a program or user can use. These limits ensure that no single task consumes excessive resources, which could slow down or disrupt other operations. Think of it like setting a budget for a project—controlling spending to keep things balanced and functioning smoothly. Resource limits help maintain optimal system performance, stability, and security by distributing resources fairly and preventing overloads.
