A Container Cloud Elastic Scaling Method Based on GRU Attention Mechanism

In modern container cloud computing environments, achieving efficient elastic scaling is crucial to optimizing resource utilization and improving system performance. This paper proposes a new prediction model based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) and attention mechanism for load prediction and elastic scaling strategy optimization. The model uses the time series processing capability of GRU combined with the optimization characteristics of the attention mechanism to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of load prediction. Experimental results show that compared with traditional methods, the model can more accurately capture the load change trend and achieve more agile and efficient resource scheduling and management, thereby effectively reducing resource waste and improving service quality. This study provides a novel and effective solution for elastic scaling in container cloud environments.
