1. A system comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
accessing a first pod running on a first host in a container-orchestration system, the first pod containing a reference to an image including an application and also containing a first container, the first pod further having a mounted shared volume host path; and
creating a second pod in a container-based virtualization system, the second pod containing a reference to an image including a first version of a binary associated with the application, wherein the application contains one or more calls that, when executed, cause the binary to perform further operations comprising:
running the second pod on the first host, the running including:
retrieving the image including the first version of the binary;
launching a second container in the container-based virtualization system; and
mounting the shared volume host path to the second pod, the shared volume host path identifying, to the application, a location of the first version of the binary.
