Abstract
Techniques for implementing container credentialing by a host are described herein. In one example, a system for providing credentials includes a memory device for storing instructions and a processing device for executing instructions. The system can also include a container to execute a runtime environment for an application through the memory device and processing device, the application to request access to a credential locked resource. The system can also include a host environment to share the memory and the processing device with the container. In an example, the host environment may detect a request for a credential for the credential locked resource from the container. In an example, the host environment may also provide a credential for a credential locked resource to the container if the container is approved to receive the credential based on a policy.
