Abstract
Caching extracted information from application containers by one or more processors. Upon extracting relevant information from a temporary container, the relevant information is cached at a container template level. A space guard is applied controlling an amount of storage consumed by the cached relevant information, and a time guard is applied controlling an expiration of the cached relevant information. The cached relevant information is maintained for injection into a working container. Applying the space guard includes defining a purge process for pruning or removing cached relevant information stored in the cache, and candidate files for the purge process may be identified using a predetermined criterion. Applying the time guard includes using a time metric defined in a profile of an information injection agent, where the time metric is based on one of a creation time, a last access time or a last modified time of the cached relevant information.
