Prepopulated container images repositories for CI/CD environments

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
• execute a plurality of commands of a text document to generate a container image that is configured as an image repository mirror for a remote server, the container image comprises a plurality of image layers that are each respectively associated with a command of the plurality of commands;
• execute the container image that is configured as the image repository mirror for the remote server;
• execute an application to cause the application that is configured to provide a request for the one or more images to the remote server;
• reconfiguring the application to cause the application to provide the request for one or more images to the container image instead of the remote server;
• determine an absence of the one or more images in the container image;
• retrieve, responsive to determining the absence of the one or more images, the one or more images from the remote storage;
• and
• provide the one or more images retrieved from the remote storage to the application.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when execute by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• execute a plurality of commands of a text document to generate a container image that is configured as an image repository mirror for a remote server, the container image comprises a plurality of image layers that are each respectively associated with a command of the plurality of commands;
• execute, by the processing device, the container image that is configured as the image repository mirror for the remote server;
• execute an application that is configured to provide a request for the one or more images to the remote server;
• reconfiguring the application to cause the application to provide the request for one or more images to the container image instead of the remote server;
• determine, using the container image, an absence of the one or more images in the container image;
• retrieve, responsive to determining the absence of the one or more images, the one or more images from the remote server;
• and
• provide, using the container image, the one or more images retrieved from the remote storage to the application.
