pause pause 1 2020-02-05 pause the Kubernetes control plane or other namespaces

Overview

The pause command allows you to freeze containers using the Linux cgroup freezer. Once frozen, processes will no longer consume CPU cycles, but will remain in memory.

By default, the pause command will pause the Kubernetes control plane (kube-system namespace), leaving your applications running. This reduces the background CPU usage of a minikube cluster to a negligable 2-3% of a CPU.
