konténerimage

A konténerimage, also known as a container image, is a lightweight, standalone, executable software package that includes everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings. It is designed to be portable and consistent across different computing environments, ensuring that software runs the same way regardless of where it is deployed.

Container images are typically created using containerization platforms like Docker. They are built from a Dockerfile, which is a text document containing a series of instructions on how to assemble the image. Once created, a container image can be stored in a container registry, such as Docker Hub or a private registry, and easily distributed and deployed across various systems.

The primary advantage of container images is their ability to encapsulate applications and their dependencies, providing isolation and consistency. This makes it easier to manage and scale applications, as well as to ensure that they run reliably in different environments. Container images are widely used in modern software development and deployment practices, particularly in cloud computing and microservices architectures.
