Abstract:
Various aspects are disclosed for unified resource management of containers and virtual machines. A podVM resource configuration for a pod virtual machine (podVM) is determined using container configurations. The podVM comprising a virtual machine (VM) that provides resource isolation for a pod based on the podVM resource configuration. A host selection for the podVM is received from a VM scheduler. The host selection identifies hardware resources for the podVM. A container scheduler is limited to bind the podVM to a node corresponding to the hardware resources of the host selection from the VM scheduler. The podVM is created in a host corresponding to the host selection. Containers are started within the podVM. The containers correspond to the container configurations.
