> Currently in Unified Containerizer, copy backend will be selected by default. This is not ideal, especially for production environment. It would take a long time to prepare an huge container image to copy it from the store to provisioner.
> Ideally, we should support `auto backend`, which would automatically/intelligently select the best/optimal backend for image provisioner if user does not specify one from the agent flag.
> We should have a logic design first in this ticket, to determine how we want to choose the right backend (e.g., overlayfs or aufs should be preferred if available from the kernel).
