挖掘用于软件配置的容器映像存储库

Mining Container Image Repositories for Software Configuration and Beyond

Tianyin Xu, Darko Marinov

摘要:

本文介绍了挖掘容器映像存储库的思想,以获取软件系统的配置和其他部署信息。与传统的软件存储库(例如,镜像存储库是一个完整的执行生态系统(包括源代码存储库和应用程序商店),镜像存储库封装了用于运行目标软件的整个执行生态系统,包括其配置、依赖库和组件以及操作系统级实用程序,从而提供了丰富的数据和信息。我们展示了基于具体软件工程任务的机会,这些任务可以从挖掘图像存储库中受益。为了促进未来的挖掘工作,我们总结了分析图像存储库的挑战和解决这些挑战的方法。我们希望这篇论文将激发挖掘这种新兴类型的软件存储库的令人兴奋的研究议程。

英文摘要:

This paper introduces the idea of mining container image repositories for configuration and other deployment information of software systems. Unlike traditional software repositories (e.g., source code repositories and app stores), image repositories encapsulate the entire execution ecosystem for running target software, including its configurations, dependent libraries and components, and OS-level utilities, which contributes to a wealth of data and information. We showcase the opportunities based on concrete software engineering tasks that can benefit from mining image repositories. To facilitate future mining efforts, we summarize the challenges of analyzing image repositories and the approaches that can address these challenges. We hope that this paper will stimulate exciting research agenda of mining this emerging type of software repositories.
