Mesos Image Provisioner

An Image is an ordered collection of root filesystem changes and the corresponding execution parameters for use within a container runtime.

Most of the container specifications, such as Docker, App Container (AppC), or Open Container Project (OCP), combine implementation and specification of the image format with other container components such as resource isolation and task execution to a large extent. The Mesos Image Provisioner seeks to enhance the capabilities of Mesos Containerizer by providing support for container filesystem provisioning from multiple image formats, while also providing features such as resource isolation by combining with other components such as Isolators.

Mesos containers created using the Mesos Containerizer are provided with a root filesystem already provisioned with Docker or AppC images using the Mesos Image Provisioner.

The container filesystem image is described by a new message Image, which is given in the following code:
