Abstract
In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include receiving a request to provision a plurality of containers of an application across a plurality of data center hosts and iteratively placing the plurality of containers on the plurality of data center hosts. The containers can be selected for placement based on one of a locality constraint and an association with previously-placed containers. Placement of a selected container can be based on, at least, compute requirements of the selected container, network requirements of the selected container, configuration of the plurality of data center hosts, and performance metrics for the plurality of data center hosts.
