Lazy distribution of container images Current implementation status of containerd remote snapshotter

by Akihiro Suda

At: FOSDEM 2020

The biggest problem of the OCI Image Spec is that a container cannot be started until all the tarball layers are downloaded, even though more than 90% of the tarball contents are often unneeded for the actual workload.

This session will show state-of-the-art alternative image formats, which allow runtime implementations to start a container without waiting for all its image contents to be locally available.

The plan for BuildKit integration will be shown as well.
