The Container entity represents an execution environment utilizing the hardware installed on a Node. Logical resources provided by a Container are backed by physical resources provided by hardware installed on a Node. A Container represents an allocation unit for Services. Each Service is run in one Container, while a single Container may host zero or more Services.

There may be multiple Containers on a single Node and each Container must provide at least one ExecutionResource which corresponds to a fraction of execution time of at least one processor core. It also has to have at least one MemoryResource representing e.g., main memory, to accommodate the Services running within the Container. Concerning other resources, a Container may also provide StorageResources for persistent storage, NetworkResources to provide limited communication bandwidth, and PassiveResources that need not be backed by hardware.
