  • Patent number: 11789723
    Abstract: A request to store a container image is received from a device associated with a customer of a computing resource service provider. Validity of a security token associated with the request is authenticated using a cryptographic key maintained as a secret by the computing resource service provider. One or more layers of the container image is built based at least in part on at least one build artifact to form a set of built layers. The software image including the set of built layers is stored in a repository associated with the customer. A manifest of metadata for the set of built layers is stored in a database of a structured data store. The container image is obtained in the form of an obtained container image. The obtained container image is deployed as the software container in at least one virtual machine instance associated with the customer.

  • Patent number: 11487530
    Abstract: A request to update a software container image within a container registry hosted by a computing resource service provider is received from an entity associated with a customer account with the computing resource service provider, where the container registry is a scalable distributed data storage service. The software container image is stored in the container registry in association with the customer account. A layer of the software container image stored in the container registry is scanned for a reference identifier associated with a security vulnerability as a result of said scan finding the reference identifier within the software container image, notice is provided to the entity indicating that the security vulnerability was found. Software within the software container image is updated based at least in part on the vulnerability scan; and the update software is deployed.

  • Patent number: 10261782
    Abstract: A request to store, in first data store associated with a customer of a computing resource service provider, a software image is received, the request including a set of layers of the software image to be stored. As a result of successful authentication of the request, based at least in part on a security token included with the request, a subset of layers of the software image that have not previously been stored in the first data store are determined, based at least in part on first metadata obtained from a second data store, the subset of layers in the first data store are stored, second metadata about the subset of layers are stored in the second data store, and the software image is caused to be launched in a software container of an instance based at least in part on the subset of layers.

  • Patent number: 10032032
    Abstract: A request to a scan a software image for specified criteria is received, the software image comprising layers stored in a first data store. Metadata in a second data store, different from the first data store, is searched through to obtain information corresponding to the software image. A first set of the layers that matches the specified criteria is determined, based at least in part on the information. The first set of layers is marked as un-referenceable. Asynchronous to fulfillment of the request, a second set of layers of the layers to be deleted is determined, based at least in part on the metadata, the second set of layers including layers marked as un-referenceable, and the second set of layers is deleted.

  • Patent number: 10002247
    Abstract: A software image associated with a first customer of a computing resource service provider and criteria for identifying an event is received, the software image comprising a set of layers. The set of layers is stored in a first data store to form a stored set of layers, the first data store being physically located in a first region. The set of layers is copied to a second data store to form a copied set of layers, the second data store being physically located in a second region different from the first region. The copied set of layers is launched as a container executing in an instance that is physically located in the second region, and, as a result of identifying an occurrence of the event, the container is caused to be unavailable to an entity associated with the instance.
