EVENT-DRIVEN POLICY-BASED DISTRIBUTED CONTAINER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method implements an event service of a platform. The platform executes a set of containers and component services to support the set of containers. The method tracks subscribers for events and facilitates distribution of the events to the subscribers. The events include information about changes to the state of at least one of the set of containers, where subscribers are processes in communication with the platform. The method includes receiving, at the event service, a subscriber request to subscribe for events of a container from the set of containers, receiving, at the event service, an event from a component service in the set of component services of the platform, and sending, by the event service, the event to the subscriber.
