US Patent 11775331 Systems and methods for container management

A container management utility tool may deploy an object model that may persist one or more container dependencies, relationships, or a collection of containers that may represent a system function. Through a web front-end interface, for example, the containers may be started, stopped, or restarted in a specific order, and the tool automatically determines the additional containers that need to be started in order to maintain the integrity of the environment. Through the web interface, for example, the object model may be managed, and start-up orders, container dependencies, or collection maps of containers that represent a system function may be updated. For containers that may not start under load, the object model may block access to the containers until the containers are fully initialized.
