Abstract
A computing device receives a container image from a container registry, the container image comprising a plurality of layers. The computing device extracts, from the container image, a plurality of files into a filesystem of the computing device, each file of the plurality of files corresponding to one of the layers of the plurality of layers. The computing device generates a metadata file that describes a directory structure of the plurality of files in the filesystem. The computing device mounts the metadata file to a location in the filesystem, wherein mounting the metadata file causes a digest of the metadata file to be generated and the metadata file and the plurality of files in the filesystem to be read-only.
