Summary

Resource Governor is an extremely useful tool to prevent run-away queries. In addition, it can prevent many DBA nightmares. Judicious use of the Resource Governor allows you to dynamically control resource CPU and memory allocations for queries, which allows you to control your environments proactively rather than reactively. This granular control of resource allocation becomes critical in consolidated environments, such as shared instances or private cloud.
