Probabilistic per-file images preloading

1. A method comprising:

providing a container image comprising a plurality of files to a plurality of containers;

receiving, from a first set of containers of the plurality of containers, first indications of a first set of files of the plurality of files being used prior to the first set of containers reaching a ready state;

determining, by a processing device, corresponding first values for each file of the plurality of files in view of the first indications, wherein the corresponding first values are associated with a first probability that each file will be used prior to a new container reaching the ready state;

receiving, from a second set of containers the plurality of containers, second indications of a second set of files of the plurality of files being used after the second set of containers have reached the ready state;

determining corresponding second values for each file of the plurality of files in view of the second indications, wherein the corresponding second values are associated with a second probability that each file will be used before or after the new container reaches the ready state;

receiving, from a host system, a request for one or more files of the plurality of files of the container image, the request comprising a threshold value associated with one of the corresponding first values;

identifying the one or more files of the plurality of files having the corresponding first values that satisfy the threshold value; and

providing the one or more files to the host system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding first values and the corresponding second values for each of the plurality of files are stored as metadata associated with each of the plurality of files.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the host system, a subsequent request for a particular file of the plurality of files;

halting the providing of the one or more files to the host system;

providing the particular file to the host system; and

resuming the providing of the one or more files to the host system.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more files are to be used by a container supported by the host system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding first values are used to identify the one or more files to be used by a container executing a service and wherein the corresponding second values are used to identify the one or more files to be used by a container executing a job.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the host system, a request for one or more files of the plurality of files of the container image, the request comprising a threshold value associated with a combination of the corresponding first values and the corresponding second values.

7. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:

provide a container image comprising a plurality of files to a plurality of containers;

receive, from a first set of containers of the plurality of containers, first indications of a first set of files of the plurality of files being used prior to the first set of containers reaching a ready state;

determine corresponding first values for each file of the plurality of files in view of the first indications, wherein the corresponding first values are associated with a first probability that each file will be used prior to a new container reaching the ready state;

receive, from a second set of containers the plurality of containers, second indications of a second set of files of the plurality of files being used after the second set of containers have reached the ready state;

determine corresponding second values for each file of the plurality of files in view of the second indications, wherein the corresponding second values are associated with a second probability that each file will be used before or after the new container reaches the ready state;

receive, from a host system, a request for one or more files of the plurality of files of the container image, the request comprising a threshold value associated with one of the corresponding first values;

identify the one or more files of the plurality of files having the corresponding first values that satisfy the threshold value; and

provide the one or more files to the host system.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the corresponding first values and the corresponding second values for each of the plurality of files are stored as metadata associated with each of the plurality of files.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to:

receive, from the host system, a subsequent request for a particular file of the plurality of files;

halt the providing of the one or more files to the host system;

provide the particular file to the host system; and

resume the providing of the one or more files to the host system.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more files are to be used by a container supported by the host system.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the corresponding first values are used to identify the one or more files to be used by a container executing a service and wherein the corresponding second values are used to identify the one or more files to be used by a container executing a job.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to:

receive, from the host system, a request for one or more files of the plurality of files of the container image, the request comprising a threshold value associated with a combination of the corresponding first values and the corresponding second values.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

provide a container image comprising a plurality of files to a plurality of containers;

receive, from a first set of containers of the plurality of containers, first indications of a first set of files of the plurality of files being used prior to the first set of containers reaching a ready state;

determine, by the processing device, corresponding first values for each file of the plurality of files in view of the first indications, wherein the corresponding first values are associated with a first probability that each file will be used prior to a new container reaching the ready state;

receive, from a second set of containers the plurality of containers, second indications of a second set of files of the plurality of files being used after the second set of containers have reached the ready state;

determine corresponding second values for each file of the plurality of files in view of the second indications, wherein the corresponding second values are associated with a second probability that each file will be used before or after the new container reaches the ready state;

receive, from a host system, a request for one or more files of the plurality of files of the container image, the request comprising a threshold value associated with one of the corresponding first values;

identify the one or more files of the plurality of files having the corresponding first values that satisfy the threshold value; and

provide the one or more files to the host system.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the corresponding first values and the corresponding second values for each of the plurality of files are stored as metadata associated with each of the plurality of files.
