To ease installation and delivery, often container virtualization is applied. In this paper, we discuss the impact of different (Docker) container image creation techniques for variant-rich Industry 4.0 applications. Our results show that a combination of techniques like container image stacking or semantic fingerprinting can save up to 59% build time and up to 89% deployment time, while not affecting the container startup time.enSPPContinuous DeploymentcontainerDockervariantimage stackingsemantic fingerprintingText/Conference Paper
