METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE CONTAINER PRIORITIES IN VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract:

Example methods and apparatus to determine container priorities in virtualized computing environments are disclosed herein. Examples include: a cluster controller to classify a first container into a cluster based on the first container having a number of distinct allocated resources within a threshold number of distinct allocated resources corresponding to a second container; a container ranking generator to: determine resource utilization rank values for a resource usage type of a number of distinct allocated resources, the resource utilization rank values indicative that the first container utilizes the resource usage type more than the second container; determine an aggregated resource utilization rank value for the first container based on aggregating ones of the resource utilization rank values corresponding to the first container; and a container priority controller to generate a priority class for the first container based on the aggregated resource utilization rank value.
