Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for managing containers across operating systems in a computer system. A method of the disclosure includes: causing a first container management agent in a first container to run a user interface in the first container, receiving a user request to create a copy of the first container, creating a second container in view of the first container, receiving, from the user interface running in the first container, a first command to switch from the first container to the second container, and responsive to receiving the first command to switch from the first container to the second container: configuring the second container in view of one or more configurations of the first container, causing a second container management agent in the second container to run the user interface in the second container, and causing execution of the first container to stop.
