  • Publication number: 20260072719
    Abstract: A container image layer deployment process is provided based on layer substitution relationships. The process includes generating layer substitution relationship data for one or more image layers of a container image of a container-based computing environment. The layer substitution relationship data specifies one or more layer substitution relationships between different image layers of the container image. Based on a download request that specifies a target image layer of the container, the process includes identifying an image layer subset that omits one or more superseded image layers of the container image. The identifying is based, at least in part, on the generated layer substitution relationship data or the one or more image layers of the container image. Further, the process includes establishing a container image layer deployment based on the identified image layer subset to facilitate container image processing within the container-based computing environment.

  • Patent number: 12287825
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide computer-implemented methods, computer program product, and computer systems. One or more processors assign an identifier that specifies a number of resources and a category associated with a respective image layer of a plurality of image layers. One or more processors, in response to receiving a user request, identify image layers of the plurality of image layers that match the identifier based on dependencies between the plurality of image layers. One or more processors can retrieve matched layers based on the functionality of respective image layers and the dependencies of those respective image layers.

  • Patent number: 12192678
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing information during a web conference is provided. The computer-implemented method includes collecting and formatting meeting application information at a processor of a computing device having a screen being shared with attendees of the web conference and collecting and formatting to-be-popup application information at the processor. The computer-implemented method further includes analyzing, by the processor, an urgency of the to-be-popup application information and a correlation between the to-be-popup application information and the meeting application information and determining, by the processor, whether to share the to-be-popup application information with a user of the computing device and with the attendees based on results of the analyzing.

  • Patent number: 11960870
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for container image management are disclosed. In a method, a first group of operations that are performed in respective layers in a base image are obtained. A second group of operations that are performed in respective layers not comprised in the base image are obtained. The second group of operations are optimized based on a comparison between the first and second groups of operations. A destination container image is generated based on the optimized second group of operations and the base image.

  • Patent number: 11803303
    Abstract: Intelligent layer control for building image files into new container images while avoiding redundant files stored between read-write and read-only image layers. Pre-commit processing module (PPM) filters updated files. Hash values of updated files are compared with hash values of original files. Where hash values are the same, PPM generates an OMD file that updates the inode metadata of original files with metadata of the updated file and removes the updated file. Hash values that are not the same, with differ values less than a threshold value, PPM generates an OMD file with updates to the inode metadata, content change flag and/or delta content info reflecting the updated file and removes updated file from container file system. OMD files are passed to storage driver whereby metadata and/or changes to content are overridden and merged with original file content generating a single unified user view of the container file system.
