When creating a Container Optimized Image VM, you can specify the Docker image for launching a Docker container.
You can pull this Docker image from the public Docker image registry or Yandex Container Registry. Accessing the Docker image through the Container Registry involves the service account linked to the VM. A Container Optimized Image in the Container Registry may get updates and changes along with new releases. However, such releases will not automatically update the VM image to the latest version.
Examples of Docker image names for various registries:
- Docker Hub:
ubuntu:16.04
. - Container Registry:
cr.yandex/<registry_ID>/ubuntu:16.04
.
