Abstract
A container deployment system for managing the installation of virtual containers in a cloud computing system is disclosed. The container deployment system retrieves runtime information of a plurality of virtual machines and containers installed in a cloud computing system. The retrieved runtime information includes information of a plurality of read-only layers in the plurality of virtual machines and containers. The container deployment system retrieves a policy requesting one or more of the plurality of read-only layers for installation of a new container in the cloud computing system. The container deployment system determines a virtual environment in the cloud computing system including the one or more of the plurality of read-only layers requested in the policy based on the retrieved runtime information, and installs the new container in the virtual environment.
