1. A method for migration of containers in a container orchestration platform between compute nodes of a seamless computing platform, the method comprising:
continuously monitoring, by a central master node or distributed among the compute nodes, a state of the compute nodes of the seamless computing platform and/or of performance metrics of the running applications;
on determining a trigger, identifying a container to be moved from a current compute node to a target compute node of a number of compute nodes;
generating a container information of the container to be moved, the container information at least comprising a container context and a current state of the container to be moved, wherein the step of generating the container information comprises generating a reference information about a storage location of the container information, the reference information being transferred from the compute node from which the container has to be moved to the central master node;
processing the container information to retrieve the container to be moved and the current state; and
restarting the container on the target compute node with the current state when generating the container information.
