Abstract
Deriving a container from a package set is disclosed. Package set metadata that identifies a plurality of packages to be included in a container image based on a package set is accessed. A container configuration file referencing the plurality of packages is generated based at least in part on the package set metadata. The container configuration file includes one or more commands complying with a container builder syntax that are implementable by a container builder to generate a container image including the plurality of packages. The container configuration file is stored in a memory of a computer system.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- accessing, by a computer system comprising one or more computing devices, package set metadata that identifies a plurality of packages in a package set to be included in a container image;
- generating, by the computer system, a container configuration file referencing the plurality of packages based at least in part on the package set metadata, the container configuration file comprising one or more commands complying with a container builder syntax that are implementable by a container builder to generate a container image comprising the plurality of packages;
- and
- storing, by the computer system, the container configuration file in a memory of the computer system.
A computing system comprising:
- one or more computing devices to:
- access package set metadata that identifies a plurality of packages to be included in a container image based on a package set;
- generate a container configuration file referencing the plurality of packages based at least in part on the package set metadata, the container configuration file comprising one or more commands complying with a container builder syntax that are implementable by a container builder to generate a container image comprising the plurality of packages;
- and
- store the container configuration file in a memory of the computer system.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes executable instructions to cause one or more processor devices to:
- access package set metadata that identifies a plurality of packages to be included in a container image based on a package set;
- generate a container configuration file referencing the plurality of packages based at least in part on the package set metadata, the container configuration file comprising one or more commands complying with a container builder syntax that are implementable by a container builder to generate a container image comprising the plurality of packages;
- and
- store the container configuration file in a memory of a computing system.
