Abstract
A device can determine that a container is deployed in a front-end of a private network. The container can include a self-contained execution environment. The container can include an interface that is configured for directing network traffic between the front-end of the private network and one or more applications operating in a back-end of the private network. The device can configure an interface of the container for directing network traffic between an external network and the container. The device can configure a firewall of the front-end of the private network to permit routing of network traffic between the external network and the container. The device can advertise a route for directing network traffic between the external network and the container. The device can perform routing of network traffic between the one or more applications operating in the back-end of the private network and the external network using the container.
