Description : Fast container image distribution plugin with lazy pulling
Pulling image is one of the time-consuming steps in the
container lifecycle. Stargz Snapshotter is an
implementation of snapshotter which aims to solve this problem by lazy
pulling. Lazy pulling here means a container can run without waiting
for the pull completion of the image and necessary chunks of the image
are fetched on-demand.
.
eStargz is a lazily-pullable image format proposed by this project. This is
compatible to OCI images so this can be pushed to standard container
registries (e.g. ghcr.io) as well as this is still runnable even on
eStargz-agnostic runtimes including Docker. eStargz format is based on stargz
image format by CRFS but comes with additional features like runtime
optimization and content verification.
This package is a new dependency of podman (via the containers/storage_v1.36.0)
I plan to maintain this under the pkg-golang unmbrella.
