Abstract
A service container provides a runtime operating environment for services managed remotely, configured remotely, load their code remotely, and found and communicated with remotely. The container scheme is the concept of a generic service container into which arbitrary software services may be homed to a host server at runtime. Each virtual machine runs a small set of code which identifies it as a service container and registers it with registries for making the service container visible and allows for remote communication.
