Abstract
An example method of sharing a resource between software containers includes detecting a request from a first software container to access a resource of a different, second software container, an operational state of the second software container being controlled by a container engine running on the host computing device. The method also includes accepting or rejecting the request based on whether the first and second software containers, which each contain a respective software application, are part of a same logical software application. An example host computing device configured to share resources between software containers is also disclosed.
