Container images

Container images are created by users deriving from base OS image. Container images are read-only templates that can be used to create containers. For example, a user can download Windows Server Core image install IIS and the application components, and then create an image. Every container made out of this image comes with IIS and the application preinstalled. You can also reuse prebuilt images that come preinstalled with MySQL, nginx, node, or Redis by searching from the remote repository and customize as per your needs. Once customized, it can be converted to an image again.
