-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a cluster administrator, you can use the resource control feature to create resource groups, set quotas for resource groups, and bind users to those groups.

When you consolidate multiple database into one cluster without resource control feature, things could easily go wrong - the mission critical workload and the side project may be granted same proportion of resources (see the figure on the left). However, when we have resource control feature, we can give mission the critical workload more resources, while give the side project a tiny proportion of the database resources. Thus, the requests from the mission critical workload may always be responded quickly.
