What does IO LVE limit affect?

Environment

• CloudLinux
• LVE

Solution

IO limits restrict the data throughput for the customer. They are in KB/s. When the limit is reached, the processes are throttled (put to sleep). This makes sure that processes within LVE cannot go over the limit. Yet don't stop working, nor getting killed – they just work slower when the limit is reached.
