Hello Martin,

Thanks for the response.
I am using the compose version 1 (Overview | Docker Docs)
And need to do the CUP resource limits for the docker containers that created on on-premises linux machine. So that each docker container get appropriate CPU.
Now in version 1 , only three options are present to limit the CPU - cpu_shares, cpu_quota, cpuset.

cpu_shares: 73
cpu_quota: 50000
cpuset: 0,1
No documentation is available that what would be the values need to set for these , so that docker containers could get dedicated CPUs/cores

Thanks for you help and information.
