Abstract
Systems, methods, and software described herein enhance connectivity between computing systems and containers. In one implementation, a method of allocating virtual network interfaces to containers on a host includes transferring, from the host, a request to at least one configuration resource to obtain an address configuration for one or more containers to be executed on the host. The method further provides for receiving an addressing configuration for the one or more containers to be executed on the host, and assigning a virtual network interface to each of the one or more containers based on the addressing configuration.
