Embodiment Construction

[0025] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Such as figure 2 As shown, in the existing mirror layered storage, the snapshot of the first layer of the mirror is created from the basic device, and the subsequent mirror layers are created based on the snapshots of their parent mirror layers. The newly created snapshot already contains all the content of the parent layer, and then writes the content of the current mirror layer on this basis to form a new complete snapshot of the mirror layer.

[0027] Such as image 3 As shown, the Device Mapper-based container image layered encryption storage method of the present invention, for image layer 1,

[0028] s11. Initialize the resource pool;

[0029] s12. Initialize the basic equipment;

[0030] s13. Create a snapshot corresponding to image layer 1;

[0031] s14, activate the snapshot;

[0032] s15. Th...

Abstract

The container image layered encrypted storage method based on Device Mapper of the present invention mainly adopts dm-crypt to encrypt specific snapshot devices. A mirror layer corresponds to a logical device under Device Mapper, and the logical device is encrypted by the dm-crypt module using the key of the current mirror layer. When you need to use the mirror layer, use the mirror layer key to decrypt and open the previously encrypted device through the dm-crypt module. The decrypted and opened device is an accessible device, which is provided to the user after being bound to the file system. The present invention improves the existing container image storage mechanism, proposes a security mechanism for image layered encryption storage, realizes the security isolation of container image layer data, not only realizes the storage security of the container, but also realizes the storage of the container through layered encryption Access control. It is convenient for security managers to provide application services to users with different permissions according to different needs, so that the application security of containers is significantly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of containers, in particular to a layered encrypted storage method for container images. Background technique [0002] Container virtualization technology has matured and started to be widely used. As an important part of the container virtualization technology, the container image carries the specific business of the container and determines what the container will do. A mirror can run a simple independent command and then exit; it can also be as complex as a database software, waiting for the user to add data to it, store the data, and then use the data. The problem then arises, what should we do when we don't want others to have access to the data in the mirror. Furthermore, the container image is implemented based on the copy on write (CoW) technology. An image is composed of 1 to N layers of image layers, and each layer is a complete operating environment and is read-only. The user uses the i...
