+= Reserving CPUs for nodes
+
+To explicitly define a list of CPUs that are reserved for specific nodes, create a `KubeletConfig` custom resource (CR) to define the `reservedSystemCPUs` parameter. This list supersedes the CPUs that might be reserved using the `systemReserved` and `kubeReserved` parameters.

+.Procedure
+
+. Obtain the label associated with the machine config pool (MCP) for the type of node you want to configure:
++
+[source,terminal]

+$ oc describe machineconfigpool <name>

++
+For example:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc describe machineconfigpool worker

+----
+<1> Specify a name for the CR.
+<2> Specify the core IDs of the CPUs you want to reserve for the nodes associated with the MCP.
+<3> Specify the label from the MCP.

+
+When using the xref:../../scalability_and_performance/using-cpu-manager.adoc[static CPU Manager policy], you can reserve specific CPUs for use by specific nodes in your cluster. For example, on a system with 24 CPUs, you could reserve CPUs numbered 0 - 3 for the control plane allowing the compute nodes to use CPUs 4 - 23.
