## Understanding 1.10 migration
This post describes the upcoming changes to the way Docker Engine stores images and filesystem data in containers. These changes are coming to users starting from version v1.10. (FIXME: link to download rc1)
Starting from v1.10 we completely change the way Docker addresses the image data on disk. Previously, every image and layer used a randomly assigned UUID, now we have implemented a content addressable method using an ID that is based on a secure hash of the image and layer data.
