Abstract

A method includes, with a computing system, storing a first container image. The first container image may be defined by a first set of layers. The method further includes, with the computing system, storing a second container image, the second container image defined by a second set of layers. The second set of layers has at least one file in common with a file in the first set of layers. The method further includes, with the computing system, performing an analysis of the first set of layers and the second set of layers. The method further includes, with the computing system, using the analysis to create a new set of layers such that both the first container image and the second container image can be derived from the new set of layers.
