When I read the title, I thought it was a new operating system-level containerization image format for filesystem layers and runtime config. But it looks like "container format" is a more general term for a collection of multiple files or streams into one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format TIL.

OS containers could use an update too, though. They're often so big and tend to use multiple tar.gz files.




You can use Pack for those cases too. --press=hard creates a more compressed pack for cases of pack once, unpack many.
