Abstract

Computer technology facilitating optimization of a container image is provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes: analyzing a source container image to obtain a content of the source container image and building an initial target container image using a set of base image layers based on the content of the source container image. The computer-implemented method also includes determining content difference between the initial target container image and the source container image, and building a final target container image based on the initial target container image and the content difference.
