Abstract:
1. A method for sharing resources in a computer system, comprising: an operating system having a kernel level and a user level; configuring the kernel level with at least a first container and a second container; assigning the first container of the kernel to a first set of namespaces and assigning the second container of the kernel to a second set of namespaces, the first and second containers having a shared file system, wherein the first namespace set is isolated from the second namespace set, with at least one shared object accessible across the shared namespace; creating a socket in the shared namespace of the shared object; forming a conduit across the first and second containers based on a permission setting in one of the containers, wherein the conduit is formed across a boundary between the first and second namespace; and controlling direction of the created conduit based on a match setting between the containers.
