Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms described herein provide for a custom file system in a containerized application system in which an application instance may be created as a container based on an application image, which itself may be composed of some number of application image layers. By being aware of these application image layers, the file system can perform image layer level operations such as image layer multisourcing and image layer garbage collection.
