Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying containerized applications. The method of some embodiments deploys a data collecting agent on a machine that operates on a host computer and executes a set of one or more workload applications. From this agent, the method receives data regarding consumption of a set of resources allocated to the machine by the set of workload applications. The method assesses excess capacity of the set of resources for use to execute a set of one or more containers, and then deploys the set of one or more containers on the machine to execute one or more containerized applications. In some embodiments, the set of workload applications are legacy workloads deployed on the machine before the installation of the data collecting agent. By deploying one or more containers on the machine, the method of some embodiments maximizes the usages of the machine, which was previously deployed to execute legacy non-containerized workloads.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving, by a first network control device, CoMP pre-scheduling requests respectively corresponding to at least one edge cell and a first edge cell that is adjacent to the at least one edge cell and that belongs to another CoMP cluster; when determining, based on the CoMP pre-scheduling requests, that the at least one edge cell has a second edge cell meeting a preset condition with the first edge cell, sending an inter-cluster pre-scheduling request to a second network control device; and instructing the second network control device to assign a first coordination cell set including the first edge cell and the second edge cell.
