1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
receive attribute information for a plurality of containers in a virtualized environment;
identify, for each attribute associated with a particular container, of the plurality of containers, a value associated with the attribute;
generate, for each container of the plurality of containers, a score that is based on the respective values associated with the attributes of the each container;
identify that the generated score for the particular container exceeds a threshold;
identify a particular remedial action, out of a plurality of candidate remedial actions, to take based on identifying that the generated score exceeds the threshold;
cause the identified remedial action to be performed;
recalculate the score for the particular container based on taking the particular remedial action; and
retain the particular remedial action when the recalculated score does not exceed the threshold.
