Container Scheduling Based On Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Nowadays, Virtualization plays a significant role in the field of cloud computing. Similar to virtual machine scheduling, containers scheduling is also one of the emerging problems in the cloud environment. While container scheduling problem is an NP-hard problem, there is no polynomial time complexity to find optimal schedule for such a large size problems. Meta-heuristics are a popular class of population based optimization algorithms inspired by intelligent process and behavior arising in nature. These are widely used to solve such kind of optimization problems. Aiming at to perform container scheduling inspired by the parasitic behavior of cuckoo bird. In this paper we have proposed container scheduling with the help of cuckoo search algorithm.
