Correction, on the server-under-test, I'm actually running RHEL7.2

Hannes says I can look in "/proc/self/cgroup"

 $ cat /proc/self/cgroup
 7:net_cls:/
 6:blkio:/
 5:devices:/
 4:perf_event:/
 3:cpu,cpuacct:/
 2:cpuset:/
 1:name=systemd:/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-c1.scope
 
And that "/" indicate I've not enabled cgroups, right?
