US 2026/0195144 A1 · MAPPING CONTAINER PROCESSES TO INDIVIDUAL CONTAINER LAYERS IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

A mapper service can be implemented to map container processes to individual container layers. For example, the mapper service can receive a container file executable to generate one or more container layers of a container image in a computing environment. The mapper service can determine one or more processes associated with the container image in the computing environment. Each process of the one or more processes can be generated by a respective container layer of the container file. Based on the container file, the mapper service can determine a respective mapping of each process to a corresponding container layer. The mapper service can generate a mapping file indicating the respective mapping of each process to the corresponding container layer.

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 perform operations comprising:
receiving a container file executable to generate one or more container layers of a container image in a computing environment;
determining one or more processes associated with the container image in the computing environment, each process of the one or more processes generated by a respective container layer of the container file;
based on the container file, determining a respective mapping of each process of the one or more processes to a corresponding container layer of the one or more container layers;
