Dynamic relocation of pods to optimize inter-pod networking

One or more servers configured to dynamically relocate pods, the one or more servers comprising:

• a memory configured to:
• store received inter-pod traffic data for a plurality of pods, wherein the plurality of pods includes a first pod, a second pod, and a third pod, and wherein the inter-pod traffic data includes traffic data sent from the first pod to the second pod and the third pod, from the second pod to the first pod and the third pod, and from the third pod to the first pod and the second pod, and
• store received node resource availability data for each node of a plurality of nodes;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• generate a queue that sorts the plurality of pods by an amount of inter-pod traffic indicated by the inter-pod traffic data;
• generate a hash that maps one or more parameters to the plurality of nodes;
• select, based on the generated hash, a node of the plurality of nodes;
• generate a pod set, from the generated queue, identified for relocation, the pod set including at least one pod of the first pod, the second pod, or the third pod;
• and
• dynamically relocating the pod set to the selected node of the plurality of nodes.

One or more computer-storage memory devices embodied with executable operations to dynamically relocate pods that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive and store inter-pod traffic data for a plurality of pods, wherein the plurality of pods includes a first pod, a second pod, and a third pod, and wherein the inter-pod traffic data includes traffic data sent from the first pod to the second pod and the third pod, from the second pod to the first pod and the third pod, and from the third pod to the first pod and the second pod;
• receive and store node resource availability data for each node of a plurality of nodes;
• generate a queue that sorts the plurality of pods by an amount of inter-pod traffic indicated by the inter-pod traffic data;
• generate a hash that maps one or more parameters to the plurality of nodes;
• select, based on the generated hash, a node of the plurality of nodes;
• and
• dynamically relocate a highest ranked pod of the plurality of pods from the generated queue to the selected node of the plurality of nodes.
