Abstract
Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to prefetching container image layers for use in a cluster of compute instances. For example, the dependencies among the individual layers within the container images stored and/or executed on a cloud provider network may be analyzed. Then, the layers that are likely to be used by a user of the cloud provider network may be identified and prefetched into the caches of the compute instances provided by the cloud provider network, before execution of the container images including such layers is requested by the user. By doing so, the latency between the time a request to execute a set of container images is received and the time the execution of the set of container images is actually initiated can be reduced, thereby providing an improved and more efficient application execution experience to the user.
