    11  ## update
    12  
    13      Usage: docker update [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
    14  
    15      Update configuration of one or more containers
    16  
    17        --help=false               Print usage
    18        --blkio-weight=0           Block IO (relative weight), between 10 and 1000
    19        --cpu-shares=0             CPU shares (relative weight)
    20        --cpu-period=0             Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) period
    21        --cpu-quota=0              Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) quota
    22        --cpuset-cpus=""           CPUs in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1)
    23        --cpuset-mems=""           Memory nodes (MEMs) in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1)
    24        -m, --memory=""            Memory limit
    25        --memory-reservation=""    Memory soft limit
    26        --memory-swap=""           A positive integer equal to memory plus swap. Specify -1 to enable unlimited swap
    27        --kernel-memory=""         Kernel memory limit: container must be stopped
    28        --restart                  Restart policy to apply when a container exits
    29  
    30  The `docker update` command dynamically updates container configuration.
    31  You can use this command to prevent containers from consuming too many resources
    32  from their Docker host.  With a single command, you can place limits on
    33  a single container or on many. To specify more than one container, provide
    34  space-separated list of container names or IDs.
    35  
    36  With the exception of the `--kernel-memory` value, you can specify these
    37  options on a running or a stopped container. You can only update
    38  `--kernel-memory` on a stopped container. When you run `docker update` on
    39  stopped container, the next time you restart it, the container uses those
    40  values.
    41  
    42  Another configuration you can change with this command is restart policy,
    43  new restart policy will take effect instantly after you run `docker update`
    44  on a container.

    46  ## EXAMPLES
    47  
    48  The following sections illustrate ways to use this command.
    49  
    50  ### Update a container with cpu-shares=512
    51  
    52  To limit a container's cpu-shares to 512, first identify the container
    53  name or ID. You can use **docker ps** to find these values. You can also
    54  use the ID returned from the **docker run** command.  Then, do the following:
    55  
    56  ```bash
    57  $ docker update --cpu-shares 512 abebf7571666
    58  ```
    59  
    60  ### Update a container with cpu-shares and memory
    61  
    62  To update multiple resource configurations for multiple containers:
    63  
    64  ```bash
    65  $ docker update --cpu-shares 512 -m 300M abebf7571666 hopeful_morse
    66  ```
    67  
    68  ### Update a container's restart policy
    69  
    70  To update restart policy for one or more containers:
    71  ```bash
    72  $ docker update --restart=on-failure:3 abebf7571666 hopeful_morse
    73  ```
