Abstract
Instantiation of a deployment image is accelerated by associating images with fingerprints, including fingerprints of constituent images (e.g., container and application images) of the deployment image. A database is maintained that associates hosts with the fingerprints of images instantiated thereon. When deploying the deployment image, a host associated with at least a portion of the fingerprint of the deployment image is identified and only the portion of the deployment image that is not already present on the host are transmitted to the host. An application image may be loaded into an already-executing container. The container may be restarted and invoke an entrypoint that references an orchestrator agent that retrieves and loads the application image into the container and invokes the entrypoint of the application image.
