Patent number: 11182193Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving characteristic information of a container registry. The container registry includes a plurality of container images. The method includes selecting at least two container images in the container registry and selecting parameters for optimization based on the characteristic information. The method also includes generating a cost function based on the parameters for optimization and optimizing the at least two container images in the container registry based on the cost function. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a composition of each of at least two layers in a container image. The composition of each of the at least two layers includes at least one file. The method includes mapping overlap between the composition of the at least two layers and estimating a redundancy in the container image based on the overlap. The method also includes calculating new layers which reduce the redundancy in the container image.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dimitrios Skourtis, Vasily Tarasov, Lukas Rupprecht, Nimrod Megiddo

Patent number: 11099882Abstract: In an approach to optimizing container images through automatic layer suggestions, one or more computer processors identify one or more layers contained within an image. The one or more computer processors compare each identified layer with one or more layers contained in an image repository. The one or more computer processors calculate a layer overlap score for each compared layer. The one or more computer processors determine a potential substitute layer utilizing a respective calculated layer overlap score. The one or more computer processors, responsive to the determined substitute layer exceeding a layer overlap score threshold, substitute one or more identified layers with the determined substitute layer. The one or more computer processors restructure one or more layers of the image based on the substituted layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lukas Rupprecht, Dimitrios Skourtis, Vasily Tarasov

Patent number: 10970249Abstract: Embodiments relate to a computer system, computer program product, and method to process files, and specifically, to support read and write requests of a multi-object file. Upon receipt of a file, a computer system parses the file into two or more logical objects. Each logical object has an associated or inherent characteristic. Each of the logical objects is matched to a storage tier in a multi-tier storage array. Each logical object is then assigned to a tier based on one or more object characteristics in the matched storage tier, and stored in a decomposed format.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dean Hildebrand, Vasily Tarasov
