EFFICIENT CONTAINER BASED APPLICATION RECOVERY

Abstract:

Stabilizing a container-based application includes determining a health of a container. Based on the container health, a most recent stable version of an image for the container is identified. A container image is considered stable if containers spawned from the image have a relatively high MTTF and relatively low MTTR compared to other versions of same image. The container is then deployed using the most recent stable version of the image for the container.
