Selective service-specific controls in a virtualized container environment

Abstract:

A containerized application is executed within a container in a virtualized container environment. The containerized application exposes service and diagnostic interfaces that allow a container manager to interact with and control different code paths that provide different services from the containerized application. Using the exposed service and diagnostic interfaces, responsive to a container crash and prior to bringing the containerized application back online within the virtualized container environment after the container crash, functionality of the different code paths that provide the different services from the containerized application is validated.
