In Chapter 1, we got our hands dirty setting up Apple&rsquo;s new <code>container</code> CLI tool. We learned what makes it special – running Linux containers natively and efficiently on your Mac. Now that you have the tools ready, it&rsquo;s time to understand the foundational building blocks of containerization: <strong>container images</strong> and <strong>registries</strong>.</p> <p>Think of container images as the blueprints for your applications, and registries as the vast libraries where these blueprints are stored and shared. Grasping these concepts isn&rsquo;t just about memorizing commands; it&rsquo;s about truly understanding how your applications are packaged, distributed, and run in a consistent, repeatable way. This chapter will demystify these core ideas, show you how to work with them using Apple&rsquo;s <code>container</code> tool, and lay a solid foundation for building and deploying your own containerized applications.</p>
