Abstract
Techniques for implementing operating system layering are described herein. In one example, a method includes managing one or more container temporary storage spaces and one or more container runtime environments. Furthermore, the method includes loading, one or more drivers to provide compatibility between a container operating system and a host operating system, the one or more drivers comprising application program interface (API) compatibility libraries to enable API compatibility between the container operating system and the host operating system; metadata arbitration logic to enable compatibility between the container operating system and the host operating system by modifying container operating system references; and file arbitration logic to modify operating system file locations accessed by the container operating system and the host operating system.
