Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method for container scheduling in a container orchestration system (COS). According to the method, a new unit comprising one or more containers are detected. Available memory for each of a plurality of candidate nodes deployed in the COS is predicted based on page sharing information of each candidate node. The plurality of candidate nodes filtered to obtain a set of filtered nodes are, wherein the available memory of each of the set of filtered node meets a memory size limitation of the new unit. Priorities of the set of filtered nodes are ranked according to one or more priority functions. The new unit is deployed to one of the filtered nodes based on the priorities.
