Abstract
A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of managing allocation of storage resources to the container includes the steps of monitoring a virtual socket, detecting, based on the monitoring, a request from a plug-in of the container to create a data volume, upon detecting the request, retrieving a storage resource limit that has been set for the first virtual machine and determining if creation of the data volume causes the storage resource limit to be exceeded, and communicating the request to the virtualization software to cause the virtualization software to create the data volume if the limit is determined to be not exceeded and returning an error if the limit is determined to be exceeded.
