A systematic review on recent methods of scheduling and load balancing for containers in distributed environments
International Journal of Advanced Technology and Engineering Exploration · 2024
Containerization has emerged as a crucial element of software deployment in distributed environments, owing to its user-friendly nature.The rise of cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing has made container management a necessity.However, scheduling containerized applications in distributed environments presents a host of challenges.One such challenge is optimizing the scheduling process to achieve container load balance.Docker containers, a popular choice in cloud computing, often face issues with the default spread strategy.This paper explores various container scheduling approaches and underscores the need to enhance dynamic resource allocation in the presence of heterogeneous computing resources.
