Intelligent Health Monitoring and Adaptive Restart Mechanism for Containerized Network Functions (Published)
The implementation of containerized network functions has revolutionized modern infrastructure deployment while introducing unique challenges in performance monitoring and system reliability. The presented framework introduces an intelligent health monitoring system combined with adaptive restart mechanisms specifically designed for containerized environments. Through integrating application-initiated restart capabilities with machine learning-based anomaly detection, the solution addresses critical issues in performance degradation, memory management, and system stability. The framework employs lightweight monitoring agents for real-time metric collection, a central analytics engine for processing telemetry data, and sophisticated restart protocols that ensure service continuity. Advanced machine learning algorithms enable predictive maintenance and anomaly detection, while the adaptive learning system continuously refines prediction models based on operational patterns. The implementation demonstrates marked improvements in service availability, reduced incident resolution times, and enhanced system stability across diverse deployment scenarios. The framework’s modular architecture facilitates seamless integration with existing container orchestration platforms while maintaining minimal resource overhead. This comprehensive solution establishes a foundation for reliable containerized network functions in modern cloud-native environments, supporting the growing adoption of microservices architectures and container-based deployments.
