Example techniques for establishing trusted communication with container-based services are described. In an example, a digital certificate stored in a memory is injected from the memory into a container. The container is external to the memory. The digital certificate is usable to establish a trusted communication between a service deployed in the container and a software program.

Establishment of trusted communication with container-based services

Example techniques for updating of container-based applications are described. In an example, a second version of an application code or application code changes are retrieved from a code storage location. Based on the retrieved second version or the retrieved application code changes, an application hosted in a container is updated.

Updating of container-based applications

A method for managing container usage in a computing system, includes: gathering a plurality of infrastructure costs associated with a container; invoking an orchestration tool in a containerization system to determine a plurality of workload costs associated with the container; determining a container usage cost from the gathered infrastructure costs and the determined workload costs; and managing the container usage in the computing system based on the determined container usage cost. In some instances, the method is implemented in the functionality of a cost analyzer resident on a computing apparatus. In other instances, the method may be implemented in a computing system in which a cost analyzer operates.

Determining the cost of container-based workloads

Examples described relate to secure communication between services hosted on a private cloud and a public cloud. In an example, an agent on a private cloud may poll a secure server on a public cloud to determine whether the secure server includes a request for a service hosted on the private cloud. The request may be made by a service hosted on the public cloud. In response to a determination that the secure server includes the request for the service hosted on the private cloud the agent may retrieve the request from the secure server on the public cloud. The request may be executed on the private cloud, and a response may be generated. The agent may provide the response to the secure server on the public cloud. The response may be shared with the service hosted on the public cloud by the secure server.

Secure communication between a service hosted on a private cloud and a service hosted on a public cloud

In some examples, a system receives information indicating resources relating to a workload, and receives information indicating relative priorities of a plurality of factors that affect placement of the workload on a cloud platform. For each respective cloud platform of a plurality of cloud platforms, the system computes factor values representing respective factors of the plurality of factors, the factor values computed for the respective cloud platform dependent upon information pertaining to the plurality of factors provided for the respective cloud platform, and computes an aggregate score based on the factor values for the respective cloud platform and weights assigned to the factor values based on the relative priorities. The system selects, for placement of the workload, a cloud platform from among the plurality of cloud platforms based on the aggregate scores.
