Kubernetes Water Level Balancing Scheduler: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation
The water‑level‑balanced Kubernetes scheduler plugin continuously gathers historical CPU/memory usage from Prometheus, applies a water‑level algorithm during the PreFilter‑Score phases to place low‑utilization Pods on high‑utilization Nodes (and vice‑versa), thereby equalizing node load, improving cluster stability, and increasing overall resource utilization.
