Efficient Docker Container Scheduling using ABC Optimization Technique

Abstract

In recent years the usage of virtualized technology is increasing rapidly. This makes enhancement in the performance efficiency leads to the need of the virtualization machine. This study is developed to enhance the performance level of the docker containers in cloud computing. The work presented in the paper considers the major parameters like availability, load, location, and energy of virtual machines to increase the system performance. The major objective of the work is to analyze and distribute the load of machines equally. The ABC (Artificial or Counterfeit Bee Colony) algorithm is used. For this purpose the ABC algorithm replaces the traditional ACO approach because of its various features such as simplicity, flexibility, and robustness. The output of the proposed work is evaluated in the terms of energy consumption and job completion. The observed values corresponding to these factors prove the proficiency of the suggested ABC algorithm based technique over traditional ACO algorithm based technique.
