Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to monitor, over time intervals each comprising multiple time slices, client requests to access software container instances hosted by container host devices of a geographically-distributed software container platform, and to generate cluster pattern data comprising geographic clusters for the software container instances in each of the time slices. The processing device is also configured to predict, for a given time slice in a given subsequent time interval, formation of a geographic cluster of client requests for a given software container instance based on the cluster pattern data. The processing device is further configured to calculate network distances from the predicted geographic cluster to each of the container host devices, to select one of the container host devices based on the calculated network distances, and to proactively replicate the given software container instance in the selected container host device.
