What are the facilities for cpu? That's the initial question - how can I do it if this is possible

Don't overcommit RAM.

Do you mean CPU prioritization? There are facilities to allow one VM or another to have CPU priority, but what, if a high priority VM wants RAM, you want to OOM the other? That doesn't exist, AFAIK.
