Abstract
A port listening request dynamically generated by an application process hosted in a container can be identified. Whether the application process hosted in the container is trusted can be determined. Responsive to determining that the application process hosted in the container is trusted, a first port to be used as an external port for the application process can be dynamically selected, and a port assignment can be communicated to a container engine, the port assignment indicating the first port is assigned to the application process. The first port can be mapped to a second port assigned as an internal port for the application process. The first port can be opened for the application process.
