We need to balance efficiency, isolation, scalability, and performance, all while accounting for each application’s various requirements. We need a service that can automate the decisions and all the little complexities involved in determining what machines in our cluster should run each instance of a service.

Efficiency/Density

Efficiency measures how well our infrastructure schedules services based on the resources available. In an ideal environment, services would be evenly distributed across multiple servers and there would be no wasted resources.

In the real world, each service has its own unique resource requirements, ...
