Conversion and restoration of computer environments to container-based implementations

A system comprising:

• one or more computers;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• storing, by the one or more computers, mapping data that maps settings and data elements from source server environments to containers of destination server environments, wherein the mapping data specifies different subsets of the settings and data elements from source server environments to be used in configuring different containers of destination server environments;
• obtaining, by the one or more computers, settings and data elements of a particular server environment that provides functionality that is not implemented as containers;
• selecting, by the one or more computers, multiple software images to use in providing a container-based implementation of the functionality of the particular server environment, the multiple software images being selected from a repository of container software images;
• for each of the multiple software images selected, using, by the one or more computers, the mapping data to select a subset of the settings and data elements of the particular server environment for configuring the software image;
• and
• applying, by the one or more computers, the selected subsets of the settings and data elements to the corresponding software images in the set of multiple software images, wherein the set of multiple software images is configured to operate together to provide the functionality of the particular server environment when the set of software images are run concurrently as containers.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• storing, by the one or more computers, mapping data that maps settings and data elements from source server environments to containers of destination server environments, wherein the mapping data specifies different subsets of the settings and data elements from source server environments to be used in configuring different containers of destination server environments;
• obtaining, by the one or more computers, settings and data elements of a particular server environment that provides functionality that is not implemented as containers;
• selecting, by the one or more computers, multiple software images to use in providing a container-based implementation of the functionality of the particular server environment, the multiple software images being selected from a repository of container software images;
• for each of the multiple software images selected, using, by the one or more computers, the mapping data to select a subset of the settings and data elements of the particular server environment for configuring the software image;
• and
• applying, by the one or more computers, the selected subsets of the settings and data elements to the corresponding software images in the set of multiple software images, wherein the set of multiple software images is configured to operate together to provide the functionality of the particular server environment when the set of software images are run concurrently as containers.
