Abstract
A network-connected device service receives a request to establish a communications session with a network-connected device. In response to the request, the service transmits a second request to a container service to invoke a software container instance that can be used to establish the communications session with the network-connected device. The network-connected device service receives a notification from the container instance indicating whether the communications session has been established. If so, the service provides an indication to a controlling device that the session has been established. This enables the controlling device to submit commands executable by the network-connected device to the service, which provides the commands to the container instance and, hence, to the network-connected device.
