Dynamic parallelism adjustment

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes receiving characteristics of available resources usable for downloading layers of a container image and fetching a manifest of the container image from a container registry. The method includes determining layers of the container image to be downloaded based on the manifest and, based on the characteristics of the available resources and sizes of the layers to be downloaded, adjusting an optimal parallelism to download the layers. The method includes downloading the layers.
