US Patent 12001407 Generating filesystem images with integrated containers

Generating filesystem images with integrated containers is disclosed herein. In one example, a processor device obtains a filesystem tree comprising a plurality of filesystem files, and also obtains a container image comprising a plurality of container files. Based on the filesystem tree and the container image, the processor device generates a filesystem image that comprises the filesystem tree and the plurality of container files. The processor device then stores the filesystem image on a persistent data store.
