Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting, by a bridge container running inside a container scope, connection information about a first service instance running to provide a respective first service outside the container scope. A first virtual container is initialized inside the container scope. The first virtual container is connected to the first service instance, utilizing the connection information about the first service instance, to virtualize the first service instance inside the container scope. It is detected that that a first source container inside the container scope requires the first service of the first service instance. The first source container is connected to the first virtual container to enable the first source container to access the first service instance through the first virtual container.

Abstract: An approach is provided for orchestrating computing resources between different computing environments. Data from first and second computing environments is monitored. The data specifies utilization of infrastructure, middleware, software testing tools, integrated development environments (IDEs), relationships among nodes, utilization of the nodes, and user behavior in the first and second computing environments. Based on the utilization of the infrastructure, middleware, tools, IDEs, node relationships and utilization, and user behavior, a pattern decision tree is updated, and unbalanced workloads are identified. Based on a comparison of the unbalanced workloads to patterns in the updated pattern decision tree, an orchestration topology is generated that specifies a new placement of the computing resources in the first and second computing environments.

Based on the updated pattern decision tree and a user request that specifies requirements of the computing resources, an orchestration topology is generated that specifies a placement of the computing resources in the first and second computing environments.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes saving a copy of a client computing environment to a computer memory on the host system. The processor writes an image of the client computing environment based on the saved copy of the client computing environment. The image includes an application layer, a middleware layer, and a system layer, and is based on the copy of the client computing environment. The image is extractable as a sub-image that includes one or more of the application layer, the middleware layer, and the system layer. The image includes a resource pattern having dependencies that associate two or more of the application layer, the middleware layer, and the system layer, such that the sub-image is combinable with an existing active container operating on a second computing system. The combination results in a functional copy of the client computing system with the changes extracted from the sub-image.
