Abstract

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for installing a plugin to a cloud-implemented database management application. A shared container file system may be initiated at a cloud environment. A plugin container image may be accessed, where the plugin container image comprises plugin payload data describing a first plugin to the database management application and a copy executable. A plugin container may be started at the cloud environment, where the plugin container is based at least in part on the plugin container image. The plugin container may be mounted to the shared container file system. The copy executable may be executed to copy the plugin payload data to the shared container file system. The first plugin may be installed to a database management application instance executing at the cloud environment.
