Symptom
The Docker service goes down.
Note: The number of containers that can run at the same time, without affecting system performance, depends on a variety of factors, including CPU, memory, storage IOPs, and specific integrations.
Cause
Too many Docker containers are running on the same machine.
Resolution
- If the Docker service is down, restart the Docker service.
- If more than 150 containers are running on the same machine, move some of the Docker workloads to other machines, either by adding engines or by adding app servers.
