METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING APPLICATION CONTEXT SECURITY CONTROLS FOR SOFTWARE CONTAINERS
First Claim
1. A method of sharing a resource between software containers, the method implemented by a host computing device and comprising:
- detecting a request from a first software container to access a resource of a different, second software container, an operational state of the second software container being controlled by a container engine running on the host computing device; and
accepting or rejecting the request based on whether the first and second software containers, which each contain a respective software application, are part of a same logical software application.

Abstract
An example method of sharing a resource between software containers includes detecting a request from a first software container to access a resource of a different, second software container, an operational state of the second software container being controlled by a container engine running on the host computing device. The method also includes accepting or rejecting the request based on whether the first and second software containers, which each contain a respective software application, are part of a same logical software application. An example host computing device configured to share resources between software containers is also disclosed.

13. A host computing device comprising:
-
memory configured to store a second software container; and processing circuitry operatively connected to the memory and configured to; detect a request from a first software container that is different from the second software container to access a resource of the second software container; and accept or reject the request based on whether the first and second software containers, which each contain a respective software application, are part of a same logical software application. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
