Software container messaging mechanism

Abstract:

Systems and methods for facilitating communication with at least one software container are presented. In an example embodiment, a first messaging client executing on a computing system subscribes to a messaging topic at a messaging broker executing in the system. The subscribing to the messaging topic includes providing an identifier corresponding to the first messaging client. A second messaging client executing on the system publishes a message for the messaging topic to the messaging broker. The messaging broker forwards the published message to the first messaging client based on the subscribing to the messaging topic by the first messaging client. One or both of the first messaging client and the second messaging client execute in corresponding software containers in the system.
