Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method, computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: obtaining configuration data that specifies a designated runtime container image; selecting a first subset of content of a first container image stored in a system memory, the selecting based on an action referenced in the configuration data; extracting the first subset of content from the first container image, the extracting including providing a second container image that includes the first subset of content of the first container image and is absent of a second subset of content of the first container image; and running the designated runtime container image to provide a runtime container, the designated runtime container image having the first subset of content of the first container image.

Abstract: A single service proxy for requesting services from multiple different service vendors with different communication protocols. In this way, a single communication protocol can be used by a service consuming entity to request various services, through the multiple vendor proxy, from various vendors, with the multiple vendor proxy converting the requests into the communication protocol (for example, syntax) appropriate for the vendor from whom the service is being requested on behalf of the service consuming entity.
