Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for rerouting data sent between application containers and storage containers may include (1) identifying an application container, a storage container that stores data for the application container, and a host that hosts both the application container and the storage container, (2) configuring the application container and the storage container to share a namespace on the host, (3) creating, within the shared namespace on the host, a resource that enables the application container and the storage container to share data, and (4) rerouting at least one item of data sent between the application container and the storage container to pass through the resource in the shared namespace rather than through a kernel of the host. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
