GENERATING COMPLIANT CONTAINER IMAGES VIA EMBEDDINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806739 titled 'GENERATING COMPLIANT CONTAINER IMAGES VIA EMBEDDINGS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method, computer systems, and program product for importing non-compliant container images. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• The method involves receiving a non-compliant container image that does not meet the requirements of a target computing environment.
• The image is then processed to extract one or more embeddings, which are representations of the image's content.
• These embeddings are compared to a collection of embeddings from an image catalog.
• Based on this comparison, a similar image from the catalog is identified.
• Finally, the similar image is deployed in the target computing environment.

Potential Applications

• Importing non-compliant container images into a target computing environment.
• Ensuring compatibility of container images with specific computing environments.

Problems Solved

• Importing non-compliant container images that do not meet the requirements of a target computing environment.
• Finding suitable alternative container images that are compatible with the target environment.

Benefits

• Enables the use of non-compliant container images by finding similar images that are compliant.
• Simplifies the process of importing container images into specific computing environments.
• Reduces the risk of compatibility issues and improves overall system stability.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method, computer systems and program product to import non-compliant container images is provided. A processor receives a non-compliant container image, wherein the container image is not compliant with a target computing environment. A processor extracts a one or more embeddings from the non-compliant container image. A processor compares the one or more embeddings from the non-compliant container image to a plurality of one or more embeddings from an image catalog. A processor identifies a similar image from the image catalog based on the comparison of layer embeddings from the non-compliant container image and the similar image. A processor deploys the similar image in the target computing environment.
