Performance-based scheduling for container orchestration platforms in a heterogeneous environment

A computer-implemented method of performance-based container orchestration scheduling, the method comprising:

• retrieving, via a control plane API server, performance capacity information from a plurality of nodes within a container-based orchestration cluster, wherein the retrieving is initiated in response to creation of one or more containers;
• generating, by a metrics generator, based on the performance capacity information, metrics for each of the plurality of nodes, where the metrics measures a performance capacity of each of the plurality of nodes in running the one or more containers
• prioritizing, by a prioritizing module, the plurality of nodes based on processing the metric for each of the plurality of nodes;
• identifying, by a node selector, based on the prioritizing, a best-suited node among the plurality of nodes, wherein the performance capacity of the best node in running the one or more containers is greater than the performance capacity of other of the plurality of nodes in running the one or more containers;
• and
• scheduling, by an integrated scheduler, the one or more containers to run on the best-suited node.

A computer-implemented method of assigning an orchestration platform container to a node of a cluster, the method comprising:

• generating a heterogeneous memory attributes table (HMAT) for a plurality of nodes of the cluster, wherein the HMAT includes memory subsystem address range structures, system locality, latency, and bandwidth information structures, and memory-side cache information structures for each of the plurality of node;
• prioritizing, by a prioritizing module, each of the plurality of nodes based on the memory subsystem address range structures, system locality, latency, and bandwidth information structures, and memory-side cache information structures corresponding to each of the plurality of nodes in combination with a current processor state and supported processor states corresponding to each of the plurality of nodes;
• and
• assigning, by a control plane scheduler, the orchestration platform container to a best-suited node identified among the plurality of nodes based on the prioritizing.
