Abstract

Container technology has transformed cloud computing by allowing lightweight, scalable, and portable applications. Yet, with the rise of containers in multitenant cloud settings, security problems in container scheduling have emerged as a major worry. The emergence of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Apache Mesos has brought about fresh challenges in securely managing containerized workloads. This article examines the security issues in container scheduling, focusing on resource isolation, vulnerabilities in orchestration tools, risks in inter-container communication, and data security. Additionally, it assesses approaches to reducing risks, like improved resource segregation, safe orchestration methods, and encrypted data management. The research also points out new developments in the industry, such as AI-powered anomaly detection, zero-trust setups, and policy-based scheduling, providing insight on improving security in containerized cloud settings. This research aims to help improve container scheduling frameworks by tackling these challenges.
