US 10,884,896 B2 · Validation of containers

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to generating and validating a container for an application. A container for an application may an executable package that include the source code for the application along with the runtime information, system tools, system libraries, and settings for the application. A container validation procedure is determined for the container using a plurality of container validation routines. The container validation routines may reflect the role various validation entities have in validating the container and approving it for deployment. If the container successfully passes the container validation procedure, the container may be deployed on a computer system.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

prior to generating a container for an application, receiving, at a computer system from a plurality of validation entities, validation information corresponding to at least two of a plurality of container validation routines;
receiving, at the computer system, source code for the application;
generating, with the computer system, the container for the application, wherein the container is an executable package that includes the source code and runtime information for the application;
determining, with the computer system, a container validation procedure based on the validation information, wherein the container validation procedure comprises the at least two of the plurality of container validation routines;
and
validating, with the computer system, the container using the at least two of the plurality of container validation routines without further input of validation information from the plurality of validation entities.

A method comprising:

receiving, at a computer system, source code for an application;
generating, with the computer system, a container for the application, wherein the container is an executable package that includes the source code and runtime information for the application;
determining, with the computer system, a container validation procedure comprising a plurality of validation routines including a first container validation routine and a second container validation routine;
and
validating, with the computer system, the container using the container validation procedure, wherein the first container validation routine is used to validate the container while the container is being generated and the second container validation routine is used to validate the container after the container has been generated, wherein validating the container includes providing an indication of individual results of the plurality of container validation routines, and an overall validation result based on the individual results.
