Cloud integration of application runtime

A method comprising:

• receiving a first request from a client application to create an application runtime associated with a tenant of the client application;
• in response to the first request, creating a runtime object instance describing configuration information of the application runtime;
• receiving a second request from the client application to access a session of the application runtime;
• in response to the second request, determining first connection information of a first application runtime instance running in a first container of a first virtual machine, the first application runtime instance conforming to the configuration information of the application runtime;
• and
• returning the first connection information to the client application, the first connection information usable by the client application to communicate with the first application runtime instance.

A system comprising:

• a first virtual machine;
• an application runtime manager component to;
• create a runtime object instance describing configuration information of an application runtime;
• start a first application runtime instance in a first container of the first virtual machine based on the configuration information of the application runtime;
• and
• determine first connection information usable to communicate with the first application runtime instance;
• and
• a client application to:
• transmit a request to the application runtime manager component to create the application runtime, the request specifying the configuration information;
• receive the first connection information from the application runtime manager component;
• and
• use the first connection information to communicate with the first application runtime instance.
