I don't think it does in practice, any more than UNIX does. How does a
UNIX admin (or the kernel) decide when to kill a process?
Good question. How do they?
Old-style Unix admin involves dedicating process seats, doing shallow
supervision-tree-style management, monitoring and pagers and pain.
New-style devops cannot lose the pager, but the developer carries it
(not the admin). Lots of automation helps on resource monitoring,
provisioning, changing.
There's also teh OOM-killer, which guns down what looks like the
guiltiest and most bloated among processes when VM (RAM + swap) runs low.
No silver bullets. Static allocation still gives the best
predictability. Some things never change!
