X Abstract

Virtualization is becoming widely deployed in servers to efficiently provide many logically separate execution environments while reducing the need for physical servers. While this approach saves physical CPU resources, it still consumes large amounts of storage because each virtual machine (VM) instance requires its own multi-gigabyte disk image. Moreover, existing systems do not support ad hoc block sharing between disk images, instead relying on techniques such as overlays to build multiple VMs from a single "base" image.
