OFFLOADING CONTAINER RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT ORCHESTRATION

原文（中文）

Disclosed are systems and methods that offload the work traditionally performed by a thick software client operating on each container instance of a cloud provider network with a thin and generalized agent that can be instructed in a piece-wise manner to perform operations as instructed by a workload manager executing on a control plane that is separate from the container instance. The workload manager, executing on the control plane of a cloud provider network, may precompute a set of operations and order of execution of those operations in the control plane and present those operations in a controlled manner to the agent that executes each operation as instructed. The agent executing on the data plane, rather than polling an orchestrator for work and then establishing the runtime environment based on a received Application Specification, awaits an operation or task that is pushed to the agent from the control plane.
