Abstract
An operating system running on a computing device uses containers for hardware resource partitioning. Using the techniques discussed herein, pausing and resuming of containers is managed to reduce the pressure a container exerts on system resources when paused. Resuming of containers can further be managed to reduce the startup time for containers. This managing of containers can implemented various different techniques, such as stopping scheduling of virtual processors, stopping scheduling of processes or threads, compressing memory, swapping pages of memory for the container to a page file on a hard drive, and so forth.
