Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for managing in-memory container storage. The apparatus includes one or more processors, executable memory for storing at least one program executed by the one or more processors, and a container file system for storing a container, which provides application virtualization. Here, the container file system includes a merged access layer, a container layer, and an image layer, and the at least one program provides an application with link information of files in the container layer and the image layer, thereby allowing the application to access the files.
