Thank you so much for answer. To clarify my question :
*If we start multiple containers that use the same image, the rootfs (or any file inside the image) is only stored once. When the container is started, a "writable layer" is created for each container, which will contain filesystem changes that are made in each individual container. * Is this is done with lxc or not ? 2018-06-10 13:00 GMT+01:00 <lxc-users-requ...@lists.linuxcontainers.org>: > Send lxc-users mailing list submissions to > lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > lxc-users-requ...@lists.linuxcontainers.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > lxc-users-ow...@lists.linuxcontainers.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of lxc-users digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
