Managing workloads in a container orchestration system

A workload management system designed for workloads of a first computing architecture enabled for a workload of a second computing architecture, the workload management system comprising:

• a processor and a memory, the memory being operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores program code portions, which, when executed by the processor, enable the processor to:
• deploy a workload management control plane under a first computing architecture;
• identify, by the workload management control plane, a requested remote workload only available for the second computing architecture;
• create, by the workload management control plane, a proxy compute resource as interface for the requested remote workload;
• start, by the proxy compute resource, the requested remote workload;
• and
• control, by the proxy compute resource, an operation of the remote workload in a 1:1 relationship, comprising:
• upon reception of a termination signal, terminating the remote workload by the proxy compute resource;
• and
• upon a termination of the remote workload, self-terminating by the proxy compute resource.

A computer program product for using a workload management system designed for workloads of a first computing architecture, for workloads of a second computing architecture, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by one or more computing systems or controllers to cause the one or more computing systems to:
• deploy a workload management control plane under a first computing architecture;
• identify, using the workload management control plane, a requested remote workload only available for the second computing architecture;
• create, using the workload management control plane, a proxy compute resource as interface for the requested remote workload;
• start, using the proxy compute resource, the remote workload;
• and
• control, using the proxy compute resource, an operation of the remote workload in a 1:1 relationship, comprising:
• upon receiving a termination signal, terminating the remote workload by the proxy compute resource;
• and
• upon termination of the remote workload, self-termination by the proxy compute resource.
