Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments for committing changes of an image of a virtual machine-based container running on a host computer system. A starting image for a container is obtained from a guest starting folder, and while the container runs the starting image changes to the image made by the running container are captured in a guest folder that is union mounted with the guest starting folder. Another union folder, which is the union of a new host folder and the starting folder, contains the changed image which can be used for the container or transferred to a different container.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for integrating virtual machine (VM) and host networking, forwarding port data and occupation status to host and VM endpoints. Examples synchronize, by a host agent, port reservations with a guest agent on a first VM on the host; receive an indication that a VM port on the first VM is occupied; based at least on receiving the indication that the VM port is occupied, update the port reservations to include that a host port corresponding to the VM port is occupied; receive incoming external traffic on the host port; and based at least on the port reservations and receiving the incoming external traffic on the host port, route the incoming external traffic to the VM port on the first VM. VM-based application behavior thus appears more similar to that of native applications.
