Abstract
A host that runs a security component and a container such that code running within the container cannot access data and resources running on the host except through a predetermined location (e.g., a container file system folder) that is visible from within the container. The security component helps to provide this safety by facilitating input of input data to the container, and facilitating output of output data from the container. Such containers and host security components may similarly operate on multiple hosts. An overlay network may be present over multiple of such containers to thereby allow the code within containers to communicate with each other, even if the code is running on different computing systems, so long as the code is running within the overlay network.
