Allocating computing resources to a container in a computing environment

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a memory device having instructions that are executable by the processing device for causing the processing device to:
• determine that a dependent computing resource is to be allocated to a container, wherein the dependent computing resource depends on another computing resource being allocated to the container before the dependent computing resource is allocated to the container;
• determine a parameter value for a backoff process for checking the availability of the dependent computing resource, the parameter value being determined using another parameter value for another backoff process for checking the availability of the other computing resource;
• determine that the dependent computing resource is available by executing the backoff process using the parameter value;
• and
• in response to determining that the dependent computing resource is available, allocate the dependent computing resource to the container.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to:

• determine that a dependent computing resource is to be allocated to a container, wherein the dependent computing resource depends on another computing resource being allocated to the container before the dependent computing resource is allocated to the container;
• determine a parameter value for a backoff process for checking the availability of the dependent computing resource, the parameter value being determined using another parameter value for another backoff process for checking the availability of the other computing resource;
• determine that the dependent computing resource is available by executing the backoff process using the parameter value;
• and
• in response to determining that the dependent computing resource is available, allocate the dependent computing resource to the container.
