Abstract
Embodiments for providing failure tolerance to containerized applications by one or more processors. A layered filesystem is initialized to maintain checkpoint information of stateful processes in separate and exclusive layers on individual containers. A most recent checkpoint layer is transferred from a main container exclusively to an additional node to maintain an additional, shadow container.
