A stack container is where all of the stack's data is stored.
Containers can exist on most any writable filesystem, or in an AWS/AWS-compatible storage service bucket.
The data in a stack container may be stored as files in a folder or package, as objects in an AWS bucket, or as records in a database.
Stack containers that are browsable are generally organized as follows:
*.plist:
Root level property list files contain the stack's definition,
copies of the archive's settings, and so on.slice_* folder/group:
The components of each layer is organized into a slice_ folder or group.slice_*/slice.index:
An index file that describes the layer and the objects that comprise it.Slice_*/*/*.data: The individual data fragments that comprise that layer.*_scribble: In buckets or filesystems that do not support file versioning,
anything with a _scribble suffix is a temporary item/object that is in the process
of being assembled.Note: the structure and organization of stack containers may change in the future.
