IMAGE OPTIMIZATION FOR PIPELINE WORKLOADS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111511 titled 'IMAGE OPTIMIZATION FOR PIPELINE WORKLOADS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer implemented method for managing updates to images, specifically focusing on shared layers within the images.
- The computer system identifies shared layers present in the images selected for update management.
- The images contain executable code that is used to create containers.
- When a change is detected in a shared layer for an image, the computer system updates the shared layer in a set of images that share that layer.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in software development, cloud computing, and virtualization industries.
Problems Solved
This technology streamlines the process of updating images by efficiently managing shared layers, reducing the risk of errors and inconsistencies.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in updating images, enhanced consistency across containers, and reduced maintenance efforts.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Image Updates in Software Development and Cloud Computing"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to image update management systems in the software development and virtualization fields.
Unanswered Questions
The patent application does not provide details on how conflicts between shared layers are resolved.
What is the impact of this technology on overall system performance?
The patent application does not address the potential performance implications of managing updates to images using shared layers.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer implemented method, apparatus, system, and computer program product manages updates to images. a computer system determines shared layers present between the images selected for update management. the images comprise executable code that are run to create containers. the computer system detects a change in a shared layer in the shared layers for an image in the images. the computer system updates the shared layer in the shared layers in a set of the images having the shared layer in response to detecting the change to the shared layer for the image. according to other illustrative embodiments, a computer system and a computer program product for managing updates to images are provided.
