Abstract
In a unified resource scheduling architecture, containers within the same microservice often encounter temporal and spatial performance imbalance when deployed in large-scale shared clusters. As a result, the commonly employed load-balancing approach often leads to substantial resource wastage as applications are frequently over-provisioned to meet service level agreements (SLAs).
