Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for integration of containers with external elements. In some implementations, a server environment is provided using one or more containers. The one or more containers include a first container that is an instance of a software image for an application or service. The first container is run such that the first container performs various operations. For example, access to one or more external elements that reside outside of the software image is initiated. Based on the one or more external elements, a configuration of the first container is changed from what is provided by the software image.
