Container management and application ingestion engine
First Claim
1. A method for creating containers, the method comprising:
- receiving an application from a user;
analyzing bytecode of the application prior to executing the application to determine whether there are any platform dependencies for the application;
executing the application by one or more processors of a host system;
monitoring behavior of the application;
analyzing the behavior of the application and behavior of one or more modules of the application, wherein analyzing the behavior of the application comprises determining composition of the application by examining inter process communications among at least two modules and logging directions of the inter process communications;
creating a container metafile for each module having resource requirements determined from the behavior of the one or more modules of the application, wherein each container metafile references one or more local resources that can be copied or mounted within a file system of the container metafile or one or more remote resources for which at least one remote storage location can be mounted within the file system; and
creating a container for each module of the application based on each container metafile.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a system has host machines forming a cluster. Each host machine runs containers, where each container includes a segment of hardware resources associated with the host machine, a segment of an operating system utilized by the host machine, and at least one application. Host agents operate on the host machines. Each host agent collects operational parameters associated with the containers on each host machine. A management platform is operative to divide the cluster into container pools, where each container pool includes a sub-set of computation resources in the cluster and has associated container pool metrics including a priority level and computation resource limits. Operational parameters are collected from the host agents. The operational parameters are evaluated in accordance with the container pool metrics.

8. A system for creating containers, the system comprising:
-
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing instructions for creating containers; and one or more processors operable to execute the instructions to; receive an application from a user; analyze bytecode of the application prior to executing the application to determine whether there are any platform dependencies for the application; execute the application by one or more processors of a host system; monitor behavior of the application; analyze the behavior of the application and behavior of one or more modules of the application, wherein analyzing the behavior of the application comprises determining composition of the application by examining inter process communications among at least two modules and logging directions of the inter process communications; creating a container metafile for each module having resource requirements determined from the behavior of the one or more modules of the application, wherein each container metafile references one more local resources that can be copied or mounted within a file system of the container metafile or one or more remote resources for which at least one remote storage location can be mounted within the file system; and create a container for each module of the application based on each container metafile. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. One or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, the instructions implement operations comprising:
-
receiving an application from a user; analyzing bytecode of the application prior to executing the application to determine whether there are any platform dependencies for the application; executing the application by one or more processors of a host system; monitoring behavior of the application; analyzing the behavior of the application and behavior of one or more modules of the application, wherein analyzing the behavior of the application comprises determining composition of the application by examining inter process communications among at least two modules and logging directions of the inter process communications; creating a container metafile for each module having resource requirements determined from the behavior of the one or more modules of the applications, wherein each container metafile references one or more local resources that can be copied or mounted within a file system of the container metafile or one or more remote resources for which at least one remote storage location can be mounted within the file system; and creating a container for each module of the application based on each container metafile. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
