The present application relates to executing a containerized application in a nested manner on two separate container orchestration services. For example, a user may submit a request to a container orchestration service to execute a containerized application, and in response, instead of identifying one of the existing compute instances belonging to the user and executing the containerized application on the identified compute instance, the container orchestration service may generate and submit a request to a serverless container management service that can not only acquire compute resources on behalf of the container orchestration service but also manage the compute resources such that the container orchestration service (or the original requesting user) does not need to manage scaling, monitoring, patching, and security of the compute resources.
