Abstract
A system and method for providing high availability for a thin-provisioned container cluster includes a memory, one or more processors in communication with the memory, a scheduler executing on the one or more processors, and a spot instance market monitor. The spot instance market monitor receives market information about spot instances in a cloud system at a first time. The spot instances are available to a client at the first time. The spot instance market monitor determines, based on the market information, a respective reliability value for each of the spot instances at the first time. Then, the scheduler selects one spot instance among the spot instances based on the reliability value of the spot instance. In response to the selection of the spot instance, the scheduler schedules a container on the spot instance and executes the container on the spot instance.
