Abstract
In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a system that is configured to perform operations including: generating first transfer data associated with transferring a first container image to a destination computer system, wherein the first container image is associated with a first layer and a second layer; storing first tracking data representing that the first layer and the second layer have been transferred to the destination computer system; receiving a first request to transfer a second container image to the destination computer system, wherein the second container image includes the first layer and a third layer; and based on receiving the first request, generating second transfer data associated with the second container image based on the first tracking data, wherein the second transfer data includes the third layer and a first indication that the second container image is associated with the first layer.
