Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device. In some examples, packet processing circuitry in the network interface device is to receive a first packet and based on the first packet being associated with an identifier for which an entry is not present in a look-up table accessible to the packet processing circuitry, the packet processing circuitry is to provide the identifier for the first packet and an action for the identifier of the first packet and cause the first packet to configure a second look-up-table accessible to the packet processing circuitry with the action for the identifier.

Abstract: System and techniques for container provisioning are described herein. A request to instantiate a container image may be made. This request specifies a name for the container image where the name is created through a first defined generation process applied to contents of the container image. A container manifest may be received from a local copy of a distributed container directory. The container manifest includes a set of entries for container layer images of the container image. Here, the set of entries are named by a second defined generation process applied to respective container layer images. Then, container layer images may be retrieved using names from the set of entries and the container image instantiated using the retrieved container layer images.
