1. A method comprising:
mounting, on a node and based on a request from a container runtime for a container image, a virtual volume mapped to an off-node volume comprising the container image, wherein the node comprises on-node storage resources;
instantiating, on the node and based on the container runtime accessing the container image through the virtual volume, an instance of a container associated with the container image; and
mapping, with respect to the instance of the container instantiated on the node, accesses to the on-node storage resources to one or more off-node volumes, wherein the on-node storage resources are immutable to the instance of the container instantiated on the node based on the mapping the accesses to the on-node storage resources to the one or more off-node volumes.
