Claim 10:
11. A method of operating a computing system including a host and a storage system, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the host, a first image file from an external registry;
creating, by the host, a container by executing the first image file;
providing, by the host, the first image file and metadata including an identifier indicating that the first image file is an image file to the storage system, the metadata further including priority information of image layers related to each other included in the first image file having been determined at least based on a position of a corresponding image layer;
storing, by the storage system, the first image file in a first storage area corresponding to first continuous physical addresses, based on the identifier; and
providing, by the storage system to the host, a portion of the first image file from a buffer memory of the storage system, in response to a request caused by a failure of the container executing the first image file, wherein the buffer memory is directly coupled to a storage controller of the storage system and is configured to temporarily store data read from the first storage area.
