Abstract:
Some examples of the present disclosure relate to container-image replication. One example includes a computing device that can generate a container image. The container image can include metadata that is consumable by a container engine for deploying a container with settings specified in the metadata. The computing device can also generate provenance data indicating at least one aspect related to the generation of the container image. The computing device can modify the metadata in the container image to include an indicator of the provenance data. The computing device can then store the container image and the provenance data in one or more repositories accessible to a client device. This may enable the client device to reproduce the container image at a future point in time.
