Abstract
The method includes obtaining, by a restoration policy manager, a restoration request for a plurality of application containers, and in response to the restoration request: obtaining, by a backup server, container information associated with the plurality of application containers, assigning a restoration type to each application container in the plurality of application containers, updating a restoration type list based on the assigning, and initiating a restoration of the plurality of application containers using the restoration type list.
Claims17
A method for managing application containers, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a restoration policy manager, a restoration request for a plurality of application containers to be restored in a production host;
- and
- in response to the restoration request:
- obtaining, by a backup server, container information associated with the plurality of application containers, wherein the container information comprises information for an application container that was at one point in time in the production host, a second application container that is scheduled to be hosted by the production host, and a third application container that has never been hosted by the production host;
- assigning a restoration type to each application container in the plurality of application containers using the container information, wherein the plurality of application containers comprises the application container, the second application container, and the third application container;
- updating a restoration type list based on the assigning;
- and
- initiating a restoration of the plurality of application containers using the restoration type list.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a restoration policy manager, a restoration request for a plurality of application containers to be restored in a production host;
- and
- in response to the restoration request:
- obtaining, by a backup server, container information associated with the plurality of application containers, wherein the container information comprises information for an application container that was at one point in time in the production host, a second application container that is scheduled to be hosted by the production host, and a third application container that has never been hosted by the production host;
- assigning a restoration type to each application container in the plurality of application containers using the container information, wherein the plurality of application containers comprises the application container, the second application container, and the third application container;
- updating a restoration type list based on the assigning;
- and
- initiating a restoration of the plurality of application containers using the restoration type list.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- obtaining a restoration request for a plurality of application containers to be restored in a production host;
- and
- in response to the restoration request:
- obtaining, by a backup server, container information associated with the plurality of application containers, wherein the container information comprises information for an application container that was at one point in time in the production host, a second application container that is scheduled to be hosted by the production host, and a third application container that has never been hosted by the production host;
- assigning a restoration type to each application container in the plurality of application containers using the container information, wherein the plurality of application containers comprises the application container, the second application container, and the third application container;
- updating a restoration type list based on the assigning;
- and
- initiating a restoration of the plurality of application containers using the restoration type list.
