Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for container sharing and scheduling in an environment having a plurality of nodes. The method includes deploying a container management service system that manages a list of layered images. The list specifies one or more container attributes for each layered image stored at the nodes. The method includes selecting, by a processor-based scheduler of the container management system based on the list of layered images, a given one of the nodes which (i) includes image layers residing in a container and (ii) communicates with one or more candidate nodes that include one or more missing image layers. The candidate nodes are determined from among the nodes based on one or more availability criterion. The method includes pulling the one, or more missing image layers horn the candidate nodes and copying the one or more missing image layers to the given one of the nodes.
