Novel techniques are described for operating system (OS) agnostic containerization for application deployment. For example, an application is being deployed to a large number of target computational environments running a variety of different OSs, including OSs that are either unknown to the deployment environment or not directly supported by OS-specific container runtimes accessible to the deployment environment. Embodiments can automatically generate a resource profile of a target OS running in a target computational environment, for example, by exploiting functionality of a network interface application also running in the target computational environment. The resource profile can be used to convert an OS-agnostic container runtime into a target-tailored container runtime (tailored for the target OS), and the target-tailored runtime can be deployed to build the containerized application in the target computational environment.
