Distributing kernels in a containerized computing environment includes executing, using computer hardware, a notebook server in a first container, wherein the notebook server is configured to communicate with a gateway in a second container, in response to a request for a kernel from the notebook server, the gateway requesting, using the computer hardware, a new container including the kernel from a container manager, instantiating, using the computer hardware, the new container including the kernel within a selected computing node of a plurality of computing nodes, publishing, using the computer hardware, communication port information for the new container to the gateway, and exchanging electronic messages, using the computer hardware, between the notebook server and the kernel through the gateway using the communication port information for the new container.

Distributed notebook kernels in a containerized computing environment

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer system updates a system including a plurality of sever instances, and includes at least one processor. The computer system determines a level of configuration for each operating server instance. One or more sets of operational features are added to the system based on a comparison between the determined levels of configuration of the operating server instances and minimum levels of configuration associated with the one or more sets of operational features. Server operations are performed and one or more corresponding sets of operational features are applied to the server operations in response to the addition of those corresponding sets of operational features to the system. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for updating a system including a plurality of server instances in substantially the same manner described above.
