Windows System Resource Manager for Server 2019 Datacenter edition

[Shammikit]

Hello, our workplace has a server with Server 2019 Datacenter and we are in need of limiting RAM usage for a couple of services of an application that's running on it. When we did some research, we came across some old posts of people suggesting Windows System Resource Manager. Some further digging on this we came across this in the Microsoft website : Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) is deprecated beginning with Windows Server® 2012. and also noticed that its not available for install in Server manager. I did some look around & did not see any successor program to Windows System Resource Manager. Is there anything else built in to Windows server that I can get my task done?

Why not use Hyper-V and Windows Containers or VMs? You have Datacenter Edition so that entitles you to an unlimited number of VMs on that single server. Running multiple VMs will of course have a RAM usage overhead but Hyper-V handles dynamic memory allocation to VMs quite well, Windows Containers would be the better option if possible.
