Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for generating and using a layering resource representation of a resource in a container orchestration platform. An owner controller creates a base layer of the layering resource representation. The base layer is a resource field tree of the entire resource. After the base layer is created, one or more collaborator controllers create respective one or more overlay layers of the layering resource representation. Each overlay layer is a sub-tree of the resource field tree. Each collaborator controller is authorized to update each field of the sub-tree created by each collaborator controller and is not authorized to update any other field of the resource field tree. Any field of the sub-tree that is updated by the collaborator controller that created the sub-tree replaces any previous updating of any field by the owner controller.
