Why each option
Seccomp (Secure Computing mode) limits a container's access to system calls, not host resources like CPU or memory.
Seccomp focuses on system call filtering for security, not resource allocation or limits like CPU and memory.
Seccomp (Secure Computing mode) is a Linux kernel facility that restricts the system calls a process can make, thereby limiting its attack surface. It does not control host resources such as CPU, memory, or I/O, which are managed by cgroups.
