Abstract
In one embodiment, a system has host machines forming a cluster. Each host machine runs containers, where each container includes a segment of hardware resources associated with the host machine, a segment of an operating system utilized by the host machine, and at least one application. Host agents operate on the host machines. Each host agent collects operational parameters associated with the containers on each host machine. A management platform is operative to divide the cluster into container pools, where each container pool includes a sub-set of computation resources in the cluster and has associated container pool metrics including a priority level and computation resource limits. Operational parameters are collected from the host agents. The operational parameters are evaluated in accordance with the container pool metrics.
