Abstract: A container mode can be dynamically selected when an application is launched on an end user computing device. When an application is deployed to the end user computing device, a container configurator can collect information about the application and share it with a machine learning solution to receive an application score for the application. When the application is launched on the end user computing device, the container configurator can provide the application score, capabilities of the end user computing device, current resource utilization and admin preferences to the machine learning solution. The machine learning solution can then dynamically select a container mode based on this information and provide the selection to the container configurator. The container configurator can then cause the application to be launched within a container that matches the selected container mode.

Abstract: A computing device's performance can be dynamically tuned for a containerized application. A dynamic tuning solution can be configured to identify target applications that are running in workspaces implemented using containers, including when a target application is moved between workspaces and when a workspace's context is changed. The dynamic tuning solution can create mappings between identifiers of the container and a performance level associated with the target applications. A driver can then use these mappings to ensure that the computing device is dynamically tuned to the performance level associated with the target application when the container hosting the target application is active. The dynamic tuning solution can also reconcile discrepancies between a performance level associated with a target application and a performance level associated with a workspace in which the target application is containerized.
