Abstract
Method and apparatus for managing software containers in a computer network. A data storage device has a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a controller circuit. A portion of the NVM is allocated for use during deployment of a software container during which an application in the software container is executed by a processor of a virtual machine (VM) hypervisor. A unique session key is generated for the software container, and a token derived from the session key is supplied with each host access command issued to the data storage device during the deployment of the software container. The controller circuit validates each received host access command by determining the session key is valid and that a predetermined time period since deployment has not expired. The controller circuit is further configured to store in a session log a listing of all data blocks accessed in the NVM during the session.
