Abstract
A device may receive a lock request associated with using an embedded device of a containerized environment from a first instance of an application being executed in a first container of the containerized environment. The device may perform a lock operation associated with the embedded device to permit the first instance of the application to use the embedded device and to prevent a second instance of the application, executing in a second container of the containerized environment, from using the embedded device. The device may monitor use of the embedded device during an access operation of the first instance of the application to detect an unlock event associated with unlocking the embedded device. The device may perform an unlock operation based on detecting the unlock event to permit the second instance of the application to use the embedded device.
