AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are insufficient in terms of container image startup performance, storage and transmission efficiency, and security, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of scenarios such as function computing. They also lack the ability to deduplicatize block-level data across layers or images, resulting in wasted storage space and network bandwidth. Furthermore, they cannot provide effective data access insights and end-to-end integrity verification mechanisms.

Method used

It adopts the Nydus format image storage and on-demand loading mechanism. Through format conversion, deduplication and snapshot technology, it deploys target image files in containers, realizes efficient deduplication and on-demand loading of image files, is compatible with OCI specifications, and introduces an end-to-end integrity verification mechanism.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the efficiency of image pulling and container startup, reduces storage resource consumption, achieves second-level cold start, ensures system compatibility and security, prevents data tampering risks, and optimizes storage and transmission efficiency.

Abstract

The invention discloses a mirror image deployment method and system based on a mirror image acceleration technology, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the format conversion of a first mirror image file in a target platform, and obtaining a second mirror image file; the format of the first mirror image file is an OCI format, and the format of the second mirror image file is an NyBus format; comparing mirror image files stored in the mirror image pool, performing duplicate removal on the second mirror image file, and storing the second mirror image file after duplicate removal into the mirror image pool; in response to the export task, data corresponding to a target mirror image file in the mirror image pool is packaged to form a deployment data packet, and the target mirror image file is a mirror image file needing to be deployed in a container of the guest environment; and based on a snapshot device, deploying the deployment data packet in the container so as to deploy the target mirror image file in the container, the snapshot device being used for understanding and running the mirror image file in the Nydon format. The invention aims to improve the starting speed of the container, optimize the storage efficiency and enhance the safety during operation.
