Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for remotely executing binaries in a containerized computing environment using a lightweight inter-process communications protocol (IPC) and UNIX domain sockets. One example method includes establishing, in a shared computing image comprising a plurality of containers, a listening UNIX domain socket, where the listening UNIX domain socket is shared between all containers in the shared computing image. A request to execute a binary in the target container is received at a target container and from a client container using the listening UNIX domain socket. A worker service is generated in the target container. The worker service executes the binary in the target container. A return exit code associated with the executed binary is received and sent to the client container using the UNIX domain socket.
