Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for container image management. In a method, an image layer in a container image may be received by one or more processors, and the container image is to be stored in an image server comprising a group of image layers. A base portion may be selected by one or more processors from the group of image layers based on a similarity analysis between the image layer and the group of image layers. A patch portion may be generated by one or more processors based on a difference between the image layer and the selected base portion. With these embodiments, the container image may be stored based on multiple image layers, and thus the container image may be maintained in a much finer granularity so as to reduce requirements on the bandwidth and time cost for transmitting the container image.

Abstract: In response to receiving a request for an identity key from a first entity, an identity key for the first entity is generated. A first request from the first entity to replicate a set of data is received. The generated identity key for the first entity is added to the metadata of the set of data requested to be replicated. A determination is made whether a replication rule exists for the first entity. In response to determining that a replication rule exists for the first entity, the set of data is replicated according to the replication rule for the first entity.
