  • Patent number: 12170646
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a container management tool of a container management service of a service provider network that operates a first container in a network mode associated with a software generated namespace generated by the container management tool. The container management tool determines a location of the software generated namespace and adds a link to a desired, e.g., existing application network namespace to the software generated namespace. The container management tool, using an application namespace creation script, generates a name for the desired application network namespace. The service provider network executes one or more first applications in the first container, wherein executing the one or more first applications in the first container comprises the first container accessing the software generated namespace and following the link to the desired application network namespace.
