Abstract

A method, computer systems and program product to import non-compliant container images is provided. A processor receives a non-compliant container image, wherein the container image is not compliant with a target computing environment. A processor extracts a one or more embeddings from the non-compliant container image. A processor compares the one or more embeddings from the non-compliant container image to a plurality of one or more embeddings from an image catalog. A processor identifies a similar image from the image catalog based on the comparison of layer embeddings from the non-compliant container image and the similar image. A processor deploys the similar image in the target computing environment.
