Updated at May 12, 2025

A Container Optimized Image is a VM image optimized for running Docker containers. The image includes: Ubuntu LTS, Docker, and a daemon for running Docker containers.

The image is integrated with Yandex Cloud, enabling you to:

  • Run a Docker container immediately after you have created the VM from the management console or CLI.
  • Update running Docker containers with minimum downtime.
  • Access the open network ports of a Docker container without any additional settings.

To learn more about working with a Container Optimized Image, see Creating a VM from a Container Optimized Image.
