Container Fork

Introduction

This project contains the source code and binary of our paper xxx. Please refer to our paper for design details.

This project is mainly divided into two parts:

1. We propose a novel container reuse mechanism that accelerates container provisioning by reusing the entire universal container, thereby eliminating the overhead of container creation and destruction.
2. We propose a process tree cloning technology (Pstree-Fork) to accelerate function process bootstrapping. This technology is independent of specific language runtimes and enables the parallel restoration of both multi-threaded and multi-process scenarios. Additionally, Pstree-Fork integrates CRIU‘s isolation mechanisms to prevent unintended resource sharing, such as file descriptors and shared memory.
