Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving characteristic information of a container registry. The container registry includes a plurality of container images. The method includes selecting at least two container images in the container registry and selecting parameters for optimization based on the characteristic information. The method also includes generating a cost function based on the parameters for optimization and optimizing the at least two container images in the container registry based on the cost function. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a composition of each of at least two layers in a container image. The composition of each of the at least two layers includes at least one file. The method includes mapping overlap between the composition of the at least two layers and estimating a redundancy in the container image based on the overlap. The method also includes calculating new layers which reduce the redundancy in the container image.
