Original Abstract Submitted
Method and system for improving a container runtime engine to allow rebuilding containers for different processor architectures are provided. The method may include exporting an export file and contextual information based on a container by a first container runtime engine in a first processor architecture. The method may further include rebuilding the container based on the export file and the contextual information by a second container runtime engine, wherein the rebuilt container is configured to be run by the second container runtime engine in a second processor architecture. The system may include at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that cause the method to be performed.
