Abstract
A method for scheduling computing resources with container migration includes determining a resource availability for one or more hosts, a resource allocation for one or more virtual machines (VMs), and a resource usage for one or more containers. The method includes identifying the hosts on which VMs and containers can be consolidated based on resource availability. The method also includes calculating a target resource configuration for one or more VMs. The method further includes removing or adding resources to the VMs for which a target resource configuration was calculated to achieve the target resource configuration. The method further includes allocating the one or more VMs on the one or more hosts based on the resource availability of the one or more hosts, and allocating the one or more containers on the one or more VMs based on the resource configuration of each VM and the resource usage of each container.
