Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). For a list of Linux distributions that use cgroup v2, refer to the cgroup v2 documentation Container Optimized OS (since M97) Ubuntu (since 21.10, 22.04+ recommended) Debian GNU/Linux (since Debian 11 bullseye) Fedora (since 31) Arch Linux (since April 2021) RHEL and RHEL-like distributions (since 9) To check if your distribution is using cgroup v2, refer to your distribution's documentation or follow the instructions in Identify the cgroup version on Linux nodes. You can also enable cgroup v2 manually on your Linux distribution by modifying the kernel cmdline boot arguments. If your distribution uses GRUB, systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 should be added in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX under /etc/default/grub, followed by sudo update-grub. However, the recommended approach is to use a distribution that already enables cgroup v2 by default. Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
