Abstract
A container system monitors one or more activities of an application container in a container system by intercepting data from the one or more activities of the application container. The application container includes computer-readable instructions and initiated via a container service and isolated using operating system-level virtualization. The monitoring is performed at a layer between the app container and the container service. The container system also transmits a report of the intercepted one or more activities to a designated source. The container system inspects the intercepted one or more activities, and in response to the intercepted one or more activities violating a policy in a policy store, triggers an action specified in the policy.
