Containerizing a block storage service

A computing device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor device coupled to the memory to:
• initiate a scheduler component of a block storage service in a first container via a containerization technology;
• mount to the first container a log volume maintained by a host operating system to allow the scheduler component access to the log volume;
• initiate an application programming interface (API) component of the block storage service in a second container via the containerization technology;
• mount to the second container the log volume to allow the API component access to the log volume of the host operating system;
• initiate a volume component of the block storage service in a third container via the containerization technology;
• and
• mount to the third container a device volume maintained by the host operating system to allow the volume component access to the device volume of the host operating system.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and including instructions configured to cause a processor device to:

• initiate a scheduler component of a block storage service in a first container via a containerization technology;
• mount to the first container a log volume maintained by a host operating system to allow the scheduler component access to the log volume;
• initiate an application programming interface (API) component of the block storage service in a second container via the containerization technology;
• mount to the second container the log volume to allow the API component access to the log volume of the host operating system;
• initiate a volume component of the block storage service in a third container via the containerization technology;
• and
• mount to the third container a device volume maintained by the host operating system to allow the volume component access to the device volume of the host operating system.
