CONVERSION AND RESTORATION OF COMPUTER ENVIRONMENTS TO CONTAINER-BASED IMPLEMENTATIONS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for conversion and restoration of computer environments to container-based implementations. In some implementations, an archive of configuration data for a server system is obtained, where the server system includes at least one application. A set of multiple software images is generated, where the multiple software images are generated such that they divide the functionality of at least one application among the respective containers. In generating the set of multiple software images, settings of the at least one application are identified based on the configuration data in the archive, a subset of the settings is selected for each of the software images, and the selected subsets of settings are converted into converted subsets of settings for the respective software images.
