`native.cgroupdriver` option,` cgroupfs` is used.

It is important to understand the impact that allocate-on-demand and
copy-on-write operations can have on overall container performance.
### Allocate-on-demand performance impact

The `devicemapper` storage driver allocates new blocks to a container via an
allocate-on-demand operation. This means that each time an app writes to
somewhere new inside a container, one or more empty blocks has to be located
from the pool and mapped into the container.
All blocks are 64KB. A write that uses less than 64KB still results in a single
64KB block being allocated. Writing more than 64KB of data uses multiple 64KB
blocks. This can impact container performance, especially in containers that

blocks. This can impact container performance, especially in containers that
perform lots of small writes. However, once a block is allocated to a container
subsequent reads and writes can operate directly on that block.
### Copy-on-write performance impact
Each time a container updates existing data for the first time, the
`devicemapper` storage driver has to perform a copy-on-write operation. This

Each time a container updates existing data for the first time, the
`devicemapper` storage driver has to perform a copy-on-write operation. This
copies the data from the image snapshot to the container's snapshot. This
process can have a noticeable impact on container performance.
All copy-on-write operations have a 64KB granularity. As a results, updating
32KB of a 1GB file causes the driver to copy a single 64KB block into the
container's snapshot. This has obvious performance advantages over file-level
copy-on-write operations which would require copying the entire 1GB file into
