Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a NVM-based method for performance acceleration of containers. The method comprises classifying each image layer of mirror images as either an LAL (Layer above LDL) or an LBL (Layer below LDL) during deployment of containers; storing the LALs into a non-volatile memory and selectively storing each said LBL into one of the non-volatile memory and a hard drive; acquiring hot image files required by the containers during startup and/or operation of the containers and storing the hot image files required by the containers into the non-volatile memory; and sorting the mirror images in terms of access frequency according to at least numbers of times of access to the hot image files so as to release the non-volatile memory currently occupied by the mirror image having the lowest access frequency when the non-volatile memory is short of storage space.
