AVAILABILITY OF API ENDPOINTS IN CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION PLATFORMS

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product for improving the availability of API endpoints in container orchestration platforms. A service request handler module of a microservice application programming interface (API) fault manager (MAFM) invokes a microservice API fault management service in response to detecting an unresponsive microservice managed by a container orchestration platform. An API inspection module of the MAFM identifies an unresponsive API of the unresponsive microservice. A remedial action module of the MAFM determines a remedial action to correct an unresponsive state of the unresponsive API. A container platform interface module of the MAFM communicates the remedial action to the container orchestration platform.
