    Abstract: A computing system and method for providing a service for a guest container-based cluster of the computing system utilizes a translated service software object created in a supervisor container-based cluster of the computing system to create at least one resource to support the service requested for the guest container-based cluster. The translated service software object is created in response to a service software object being created in the guest container-based cluster. In response to the translated service software object being created in the supervisor container-based cluster, at least one service-related software object is then created in the supervisor container-based cluster that corresponds to the translated service software object. Provider-specific instructions are then sent to a resource provider from the supervisor container-based cluster to create at least one resource associated with the at least one service-related software object to support the requested service for the guest container-based cluster.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for autoscaling a custom resource of a containerized application handling system utilizes a metric value defined for a system object of the custom resource to scale the system object of the custom resource. An API request for the metric value is sent from an autoscaler to a control plane of the containerized application handling system to receive the metric value, which is compared to a desired metric value. A target scale metric value is then determined based on the comparison and posted in a database of the containerized application handling system. The system object of the custom resource is scaled by an operator of the containerized application handling system based on the posted target scale metric value.
