-Mandatory parameters to create standalone container are: ``node``, ``name``,
-``image`` [imagevar]_, ``cpu_count``, ``cpu_skip``, ``cpuset_mems``,
-``cpu_shared``.

-There is no parameters check functionality. Passing required arguments is in
-coder responsibility. All the above parameters are required to calculate the
-correct cpu placement. See documentation for the full reference.
