Supporting manifest list for multi-platform application container images

Implementations of the disclosure provide a method comprising generating, by a processing device, a group repository in view of a plurality of image repositories comprising image manifests. An image manifest comprising an application image and an image platform specifier specifying platform resources for executing the application image from the image repositories is identified. The image manifest is clustered into one or more group members of the group repository in view of the image platform specifier. Each group member references at least a key and a value associated with the key. The key references the image manifest and the value references a manifest list describing a plurality of platforms to execute the application image associated with the image manifest. Thereupon, a data object to redirect a client device to a location comprising the one or more group members of the group repository is published.
