    The reliability of disk images, the flexibility of files

    Project mention: Red Hat to contribute container tech (Podman, bootc, ComposeFS, etc.) to CNCF | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-14

    Composefs has a totally crucial feature that sold me immediately, which is that if two containers use the same file, the kernel can serve that file from the same page cache. This means you can hypothetically launch a lot of containers, and if they share some layers/base images, the memory usage can still be quite reasonable. Nice. https://github.com/containers/composefs?tab=readme-ov-file#b...
