  • Patent number: 11620146
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments for committing changes of an image of a virtual machine-based container running on a host computer system. A starting image for a container is obtained from a guest starting folder, and while the container runs the starting image changes to the image made by the running container are captured in a guest folder that is union mounted with the guest starting folder. Another union folder, which is the union of a new host folder and the starting folder, contains the changed image which can be used for the container or transferred to a different container.

  • Publication number: 20220229651
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the updates for a container runtime. In one example, a host identifies a request to update a container runtime from a first version to a second version for a container executing in a virtual machine. The host further initiates execution of a second container in a second virtual machine with the second version of the container runtime, wherein the second container uses the same root filesystem as the first container. The host also updates any required networking configurations to direct communications to the second container over the first container and stops execution of the first container.

  • Publication number: 20220222223
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and method for combining folders in a host operating system lacking a facility for performing the combining. A helper virtual machine (VM) is formed and runs a guest operating system with a facility for combining folders such as a union mount facility. The host operating system also runs a host/guest file-sharing server to share folders instead of copying them. The file-sharing server allows the VM to access host folders, perform the combination using the union mount facility, and then allows the host operating system to access the results as a shared union mount folder in the host. Any changes to the shared union mount folder in the host are automatically processed by the union mount facility in the VM and then reflected to a folder in the host operating system.

  • Publication number: 20200351306
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a security service configurator to configure security policies for network traffic sent from internal resources of a secure environment. The security service configurator receives an indication of intrusion activity in network activity directed to a first internal resource of the secure environment. The security service configurator determines the occurrence a pivot of an intrusion between the first internal resource and a second internal resource within the secure environment. In response, the security service configurator configures an extrusion detection policy for the second internal resource. When the security service configurator receives an indication of extrusion activity in network activity directed from the second internal resource to a system external to the secure environment, the security service configurator performs a security process on the network activity.
