US Patent 11853327 Seamlessly containerizing a database

In an approach to containerizing an existing database that currently resides on a standard operating system, responsive to determining that a non-containerized database is suitable for containerization, one or more database objects to be shifted into a container are determined. The one or more database objects are mapped to a container structure. The non-containerized database is shifted into the container based on the mapping of the one or more database objects and the container structure to create a containerized database.
