  • Failover of applications between isolated user space instances on a single instance of an operating system
    Patent number: 8990608
    Abstract: An application is failed-over between containers on a single operating system instance. A container is associated with the application, and the application runs therein. An identifier of the container currently associated with the application is maintained as a member of the application group. A listing of a current state of each container is maintained, for example in a file. If the current container goes offline or faults, a separate container currently in an available state is identified, and the identifier of the current container in the application group is updated. The application is subsequently started-up in the separate, container, thereby failing-over the application between containers on the single operating system instance.
