Abstract
A container is obtained at a host device of a set of host devices in a container hosting environment. At the host device, one or more other host devices of the set of hosting devices are identified as one or more replica host devices. A commit operation is performed at the host device for a given layer of the obtained container. A synchronization operation is then initiated at the host device with each of the one or more replica host devices based on the committed layer of the obtained container to form a replica container at each of the one or more replica host devices. The replica container at each of the one or more replica host devices is state-synchronized with the obtained container.
