Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, resource requests between software containers are accepted or rejected based on whether the software containers are part of a same logical software application. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a request to start a software container is accepted or rejected based on whether the software container is digitally signed. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a request to perform a container operational action for a first software container is accepted or rejected based on whether a security registry includes a rule governing the requested container operational action for the first software container, and if the software container is already running, based also on what entity started the software container.
