Scheduling optimization for containerized instances

A computing device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor device coupled to the memory, the processor device to:
• determine a first current state of each containerized instance of a plurality of containerized instances executing on a compute node in a cluster of compute nodes;
• determine a first current state of each compute node in the cluster of compute nodes;
• calculate, for each respective compute node in the cluster of compute nodes, a first cost associated with each containerized instance on the respective compute node based on the first current state of each containerized instance and the first current state of each compute node;
• create a list of preferred compute nodes for each containerized instance to execute on based on the first current state of each containerized instance, the first current state of each compute node, and the first cost associated with each containerized instance for each compute node in the cluster of compute nodes;
• and
• cause, based on the list of preferred compute nodes, a first containerized instance of the plurality of containerized instances to be moved to a first compute node identified in the list of preferred compute nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processor devices to:

• determine a first current state of each containerized instance of a plurality of containerized instances executing on a compute node in a cluster of compute nodes;
• determine a first current state of each compute node in the cluster of compute nodes;
• calculate for each respective compute node in the cluster of compute nodes, a first cost associated with each containerized instance on the respective compute node based on the first current state of each containerized instance and the first current state of each compute node;
• create a list of preferred compute nodes for each containerized instance to execute on based on the first current state of each containerized instance, the first current state of each compute node, and the first cost associated with each containerized instance for each compute node in the cluster of compute nodes;
• and
• cause, based on the list of preferred compute nodes, a first containerized instance of the plurality of containerized instances to be moved to a first compute node identified in the list of preferred compute nodes.
