* Some prewarmed containers will be deleted if they are expiration, this can save some memory resource.
* Create a certain range prewarmed conainers according to the cold start in same kind on next schedule time, e.g.
- cold start number = 2, number of prewarmed container will be created = cold start number(2)/threshold(2) * increment(1) = 1

Maybe we can skip this part as there is this part?
https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions.md#languages-and-runtimes

Instead of this, we may add a section to briefly describe why we need prewarm containers and the effect of it.

the activation will be scheduled on prewarmed container firstly, then subsequent activation will be scheduled on warmed containers.
because prewarm container is already created in advance, so this can avoid `cold start`.

How to support `adjust the prewarmed container resource dynamically`
The number of prewarmed containers is dynamically controlled when:
* they are expired due to a TTL, some prewarmed containers are removed to save resources.
* cold starts happen, some prewarm containers are created according to the following calculus.
* `# of prewarm containers to be created` = `# of cold starts` / `threshold` * `increment`.
* ex1) `cold start number(2)` / `threshold(2)` * `increment(1)` = 1
* ex2) `cold start number(4)` / `threshold(2)` * `increment(1)` = 2
* ex3) `cold start number(8)` / `threshold(2)` * `increment(1)` = 4
* ex4) `cold start number(16)` / `threshold(2)` * `increment(1)` = 4 (cannot exceed the maximum number)
* no activation arrives for long time, the number of prewarm containers will eventually converge to `minCount`.
