Answer
Resource contention leads to CPU throttling, RAM pressure, IO saturation, and network slowness.
Quick Answer
Too many containers compete for CPU, RAM, disk I/O, and network bandwidth. The host kernel also has overhead per container (namespaces, cgroups, iptables rules). At extreme container counts, scheduling and networking overhead becomes significant. Right-size your containers and use orchestrators to spread load across multiple hosts.
