Abstract
Described are techniques for modifying existing driver plugin behavior using a plugin wrapper to enable driver compatibility with an unsupported container deployment model. The techniques include intercepting, by a plugin wrapper operating as part of a container orchestration system, an allocation request intended for a driver plugin, where the allocation request is for allocating a computing resource to a containerized application deployed using a container deployment model not supported by the driver plugin. The techniques further include modifying, by the plugin wrapper, the allocation request to correspond to specifications of the container deployment model, thereby forming a modified request to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application. The techniques further include sending, by the plugin wrapper, the modified request to the driver plugin to allow the driver plugin to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application using the specifications of the container deployment model.
