Abstract

Disclosed is an approach for image management for container runtimes. A first image of a first application for a first container runtime can be downloaded from an image repository providing the first image. Content data of the first application and management data corresponding to the first application and the first container runtime can be extracted from the first image. Both the content data of the first application and the management data corresponding to the first application and the first container runtime can be stored in an image sharing file system in response to the content data of the first application being not stored in the image sharing file system. Only the management data corresponding to the first application and the first container runtime can be stored in the image sharing file system in response to the content data of the first application being stored in the image sharing file system.
