Abstract
A system and method include creating a bootable virtual machine (VM) image for a container image. The method includes a controller machine creating a single partition within an output VM disk file where the single partition comprises a master boot record and a partition table, forming a valid file system in a main partition of the output VM disk file, arranging an input set of container image definitions as a list where a base image forms a head of the list and subsequent images follow in the list, sequentially processing the list for each image by adding the input set of container image definitions to the output VM file; and applying a final networking configuration over the output VM file.
