  • Container image layer reordering
    Patent number: 10936293
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for constructing, by a computing device, a dependency graph using dependency links provided between layers of an image. Versions of the image may be inspected. Update frequencies of the layers of the image may be identified. A rank to the layers of the image may be assigned based upon, at least in part, the update frequencies of the layers of the image. A new layer arrangement for the image may be generated by ordering the new layer arrangement between a lowest ranked layer and a highest ranked layer based upon, at least in part, the dependency graph. A new standardized deployment image may be built using the image layers reordered in the new layer arrangement.
