In previous versions of CentOS, system administrators built custom cgroup hierarchies with use of the cgconfig command from the libcgroup package. This package is now deprecated. There is only special situation, in which libgroups should be used. CentOS 7 moves the resource management settings from the process level to the application level by binding the cgroup hierarchy with the systemd unit hierarchy. Therefore, you can manage the cgroup tree with systemctl commands.
