Device access control for applications of multiple containers

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors to:
• provide, during creation of a first container of a containerized environment, information that identifies a lock that is to be utilized for an embedded device of the containerized environment,
• wherein the information that identifies the lock is provided to the first container, and
• wherein the lock is configured to prevent concurrent access of the embedded device;
• receive, from the first container and based on the information, a lock request associated with using the embedded device,
• wherein the lock request is received from a first instance of a software development kit (SDK) being used by an application in the first container;
• perform a lock operation associated with the embedded device to:
• permit the first instance of the SDK to use the embedded device in association with a device access operation, and
• deny a lock request, received during the device access operation, from a second instance of the SDK in a second container to prevent the second instance of the SDK from using the embedded device during the device access operation;
• monitor a use of the embedded device by the first instance of the SDK during the device access operation;
• detect an unlock event associated with unlocking the embedded device based on monitoring the use of the embedded device by the first instance of the SDK during the device access operation;
• and
• perform an unlock operation based on detecting the unlock event to unlock the embedded device, wherein unlocking the embedded device permits the second instance of the SDK to use the embedded device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• provide, during creation of a first container of a containerized environment, information that identifies a lock that is to be utilized for a set of embedded devices of the containerized environment,
• wherein the information that identifies the lock is provided to the first container, and
• wherein the lock is configured to prevent concurrent access of the set of embedded devices;
• receive, based on the information, a lock request associated with using the set of embedded devices,
• wherein the lock request is associated with a first instance of a software development kit (SDK) that is associated with a device type of the set of embedded devices and that is in the first container;
• identify an embedded device, of the set of embedded devices, for use in association with a device access operation,
• wherein the embedded device is identified based on the device type being identified in the lock request;
• perform a lock operation associated with the embedded device to:
• permit the first instance of the SDK to perform the device access operation on the embedded device, and
• prevent a second instance of the SDK from concurrently accessing the embedded device during the device access operation,
• wherein the second instance of the SDK is executing in a second container of the containerized environment;
• monitor a use of the embedded device by the first instance of the SDK during the device access operation;
• detect an unlock event associated with unlocking the embedded device based on monitoring the use of the embedded device by the first instance of the SDK during the device access operation;
• and
• perform, based on detecting the unlock event, an unlock operation to unlock the embedded device, wherein unlocking the embedded device permits the second instance of the SDK to use the embedded device.
