Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for container cross-cluster capacity scaling. The method includes broadcasting local capacity information of capacity availability or capacity requirement for the local cluster and receiving broadcasts from each of one or more other clusters providing capacity information including capacity availability or capacity requirements. The method may map the received capacity information with the local capacity information and may determine a suitable cross-cluster capacity sharing when a capacity requirement of the local cluster maps to a capacity availability of another cluster or when a capacity availability of the local cluster maps to a capacity requirement of another cluster. The method may coordinate the deallocation of a node from the cluster having the capacity availability and reallocation of the node to the cluster having the capacity requirement.
