Aiming at high energy consumption of data center in container cloud, a virtual resource deployment strategy based on host selection algorithm with Power Full (PF) was proposed. Firstly, the allocation and migration scheme of virtual resource in container cloud was proposed and the significant impact of host selection strategy on energy consumption of data center was found. Secondly, by studying the mathematical relationship between the utilization of host and the utilization of containers, between the utilization of host and the utilization of virtual machines and between the utilization of host and energy consumption of data center, a mathematical model of the energy consumption of data center in container cloud was constructed and an optimization objective function was defined. Finally, the function of host's energy consumption was simulated using linear interpolation method, and a host selection algorithm with PF was proposed according to the clustering property of the objects. Simulation results show that compared with First Fit (FF), Least Full (LF) and Most Full (MF), the energy consumption of the proposed algorithm is averagely reduced by 45%,53% and 49% respectively in the computing service of regular tasks and different host clusters; is averagely reduced by 56%,46% and 58% respectively in the computing service of regular tasks and same host cluster; is averagely reduced by 32%,24% and 12% respectively in the computing service of irregular tasks and different host clusters. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm realizes reasonable virtual resource deployment in container cloud, and has advantage in data center energy saving.
