A node of a container system is made immutable to containers (e.g., to applications operating in the containers) running on the node. For example, the node may be made immutable by performing a method comprising: mounting, by a container runtime operating on a node within a container system, a volume comprising a container image, wherein the node comprises storage resources; creating, on the node and based on access to the volume, an instance of a container associated with the container image; and mapping, with respect to the container, accesses to the storage resources to one or more volumes stored remotely from the node, where the storage resources on the node are immutable to the container based on the mapping the accesses to the storage resources to the one or more volumes.
