Abstract
Virus scanning of container images can be managed. For example, container images can be received in a sequential order. The container images can then be analyzed to determine the contents of the container images. The container images can be arranged in a virus-scanning queue in an order that is different from the sequential order in which the container images were received based on the contents of the container images. The container images can then be scanned for viruses in the order in which the container images are arranged in the virus-scanning queue.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory device including instructions that are executable by the processing device for causing the processing device to:
- receive a plurality of container images in a sequential order;
- open the plurality of container images to determine contents of the plurality of container images;
- arrange the plurality of container images in a virus-scanning queue in an order that is different from the sequential order in which the plurality of container images were received based on the contents of the plurality of container images;
- and
- scan the plurality of container images for viruses in the order in which the plurality of container images are arranged in the virus-scanning queue.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to:
- receive a plurality of container images in a sequential order;
- open the plurality of container images to determine contents of the plurality of container images;
- arrange the plurality of container images in a virus-scanning queue in an order that is different from the sequential order in which the plurality of container images were received based on the contents of the plurality of container images;
- and
- scan the plurality of container images for viruses in the order in which the plurality of container images are arranged in the virus-scanning queue.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device, a plurality of container images in a sequential order;
- opening, by the processing device, the plurality of container images to determine contents of the plurality of container images;
- arranging, by the processing device, the plurality of container images in a virus-scanning queue in an order that is different from the sequential order in which the plurality of container images were received based on the contents of the plurality of container images;
- and
- scanning, by the processing device, the plurality of container images for viruses in the order in which the plurality of container images are arranged in the virus-scanning queue.
