Description

https://github.com/microsoft/hcsshim/blob/main/internal/vmcompute/vmcompute.go https://github.com/microsoft/hcsshim/blob/main/internal/computecore/computecore.go is useful for third-party applications that call the HCS API.

Would it be possible to move internal/vmcompute internal/computecore (and ideally internal/hcs/... too) out of internal/ so that third-party applications can use this package without copying it?

Research direction

Start with internal/computecore/computecore.go and the internal/hcs/... packages, then trace how they are used by callers of the HCS API. Work out the public package layout and the changes needed to move these packages without requiring third-party applications to copy them. Done means those applications can import the packages from outside internal/.
