First, you should ensure that you have kernel 4.5 or higher. Actually, most things will work with 4.11 or higher.
$ uname -a



This is because you most likely have cgroup v2 , not v1, which has different configuration. Most of the links for ubuntu 16.04 and others, refer to v1. Don't get confused.



If your run "mount -t cgroup" , you should see a list of cgroups, all under /sys/fs/cgroup .



Now, the configurations starts with :
$ cp /usr/share/doc/cgroup-tools/examples/cgred.conf /etc/



Then, the rest are very similar to :
Install cgconfig in Ubuntu 16.04



All info about the new case (18.04) be found in :
https://www.paranoids.at/cgroup-ubuntu-18-04-howto/



The test in my case, showed my new /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/browsers/ and tasks.



Good luck.
