A system performs a method including: generating a posture of a first microservice in a microservice based network environment; implementing the posture of the first microservice at a sidecar of the first microservice; distributing the posture of the first microservice to a sidecar of a second microservice in the microservice based network environment; implementing the posture of the first microservice at the sidecar of the second microservice; and controlling communication of personally identifiable information between the first microservice and the second microservice based on the posture of the first microservice through either or both the sidecar of the first microservice and the sidecar of the second microservice. The posture of the first microservice includes an identification of one or more types of personally identifiable information that the first microservice is authorized to distribute and one or more types of personally identifiable information that the first microservice is authorized to receive.

In one embodiment, a method includes creating an active container and a standby container for a single supervisor of an operating system at a network device, instantiating instances for active Kernel Loadable Modules (KLMs) for servicing the active container, instantiating instances for standby KLMs for servicing the standby container, wherein one or more of the standby KLMs comprise upgraded versions of the active KLMs, and switching over from the active container to the standby container to perform an in-service upgrade of the KLMs for the operating system. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
