[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Container OS** or **Base OS** refers to an image that contains an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os|operating system]] such as Ubuntu, CentOS, or windowsservercore. Typically, the local image is built on top of a Base OS image so that it can take use parts of the OS. Note that windows [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:container|containers]] require a Base OS, while Linux containers do not.
