Abstract
Systems and methods for generating container images are described. An image tag comprising a set of code names is received at a virtual image server, wherein the virtual image server comprises a mapping of each code name of the set of code names to a corresponding image file. For each of the set of code names, a corresponding image file is retrieved from an image registry and an image manifest is generated by the virtual image server using the corresponding image file of each of the set of code names. The image manifest may reference the corresponding image file of each of the set of code names as a separate image layer. The virtual image server may provide the image manifest to a container host, which may build a container image based on the image manifest.
