Set Priority on an ESXi machine?

I have ESXi 6.5 and vCenter Appliance 6.5. I also have the latest VMWare Workstation.

On VMWare Workstation it is possible to set the priority of a VM to Normal or High. Is it possible to also set the priority of an ESXi VM?  I want to allow a specific VM to have the highest access to the available resources on the host.  Thanks.

netlib,

There are several mechanisms that you can use. I guess you can start with the following article:

You can do it by creating Resource Pools and set up share levels, Limit & Reservation in the VM properties or define it in the ESXi host level
