9. A computer system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable storage media coupled to the processor, wherein the computer readable storage media contains program instructions executing a computer-implemented method comprising the steps of:

determining a first allocation scheme for allocating computing resources of a first physical computing machine among a plurality of containerized applications stored in a clustered computing environment and configured to run on the first physical computing machine;

allocating the computing resources of the first physical computing machine according to the first allocation scheme wherein each containerized application allocates an initial set of computing resources;

determining, based on receipt of computing resource data from the resource monitor while running the plurality of the containerized application, that a first containerized application needs additional computing resources;

responsive to determining the first containerized application needs the additional computing resources, creating a second allocation scheme for allocating the computing resources of the first physical computing machine among the plurality of containerized applications running on the first physical computing machine, wherein the second allocation scheme transfers a set of transferred computing resources from a second containerized application of the plurality of containerized resources to the first containerized application;

while running of the plurality of containerized applications, re-allocating the computing resources of the first physical computing machine in accordance with the second allocation scheme, whereby the first containerized application receives the set of transferred computing resources from the second containerized application;

deducting, by an adapted resource allocator, computing resources from a second computing machine of the plurality of computing machines and creating a new containerized computer application within the first computing machine;

deducting resources from the newly containerized computer application stored within the first computing machine and assigning the computing resources of the newly containerized computer application received from the second computing machine to the first containerized computer application or the second containerized computer application, if the first computing machine does not have sufficient computing resources available and the second existing computing machine does have sufficient computing resources.

10. The computer system of claim 9 , further comprising:

deploying, by the processor, a state manager within a cluster of the clustered computing environment, lowering latency in the communication between pods of the cluster and the state manager.

11. The computer system of claim 10 , further comprising:

replicating the state manager across multiple nodes within the cluster.

12. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the computing resource data comprises percent usage of a CPU.

allocating the computing resources at a threshold of percent CPU usage via the adapted resource allocator.

14. The computer system of claim 9 , further comprising:

allocating, via the adapted resource allocator, computing resources by creating a new computing machine and a new containerized computer application within the new computing machine from which computing resources may then be deducted if there does not exist sufficient computing resources on the same computing machine or any of the plurality of existing computing machines.

15. The computer system of claim 9 , further comprising:

sending error messages or distress signals for individual pods requiring greater computing resources if the computer systems fails or does not find the additional computing resources.

16. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein each pod of the clustered computing environment reads the percent usage of the CPU.

17. A computer system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable storage media coupled to the processor, wherein the computer readable storage media contains program instructions executable by the processor to perform a method for managing and allocating computing resources amongst a plurality of computing machines, said plurality of computing machines comprising a plurality of containerized computer applications stored thereon within a clustered computing environment, said program instructions comprising:

instructions to a resource monitor adapted to communicate with and receive computing resource data from each of the computing machines; and

instructions to an adapted resource allocator structured, programmed and/or configured to:

deduct computing resources from a first computing machine of the plurality of computing machines,

create a new containerized computer application within a second computing machine using the computing resources deducted from the first computing machine,

deduct the computing resources from the new containerized computing application, and

assign the computing resources deducted from the new containerized computing application stored within the second computing machine to another containerized computing application stored within the second computing machine, if the second computing does not have sufficient computing resources available and there exists the first computing machine within the plurality of computing machines with sufficient computing resources.
