Elastic container management system

Abstract:

An Elastic Container Management System (ECMS) that performs lifecycle management of containers by which containers are created, deleted, started, and stopped. The ECMS monitors the containers and, based on resource utilization, scales up and scales down the resource allocation of the containers. The ECMS also performs garbage collection, which removes containers from the host and their images and configurations are stored in repository, which can be retrieved. The ECMS also performs migration of containers between hosts in a network when the host running the container runs out of the resources.
