Abstract: Techniques for application copy management in container environments are disclosed. For example, a method obtains a copy of an application program, wherein the copy of the application program is a copy generated for a first cluster of a container-based information processing system within which the application program is deployed. The method then utilizes the copy of the application program from the first cluster to deploy the application program in a second cluster of the container-based information processing system.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to receive a create volume request to create a given storage volume for a software container instance running on a container host device, to parse the given request to identify replication-related parameters for the given storage volume, the identified replication-related parameters comprising an availability parameter. The processing device is also configured, responsive to the availability parameter specifying that the given storage volume should be configured with enhanced availability, to create a first logical storage volume on a first storage array and a second logical storage volume on a second storage array, to establish a replication link between the first logical storage volume on the first storage array and the second logical storage volume on the second storage array, and to mount the first and second logical storage volumes to a designated volume mount point in the software container instance.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for managing a plurality of storage providers to allocate a second storage provider as an active storage provider. The method includes monitoring respective health states of a plurality of storage providers in a storage infrastructure and determining an unhealthy health state of a first storage provider, operating as an active storage provider, among the plurality of storage providers. The method also includes managing the plurality of storage providers to allocate a second storage provider, operating as a standby storage provider, among the plurality of storage providers as the active storage provider.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed to configure the overlay hardware based on the effective values. The effective values are generated based on both the configured values provided by a user and the settings values provided by the graphics application and the effective values may be applied to the overlay.
