Include metadata in images

Define comprehensive image metadata during creation to ensure Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform correctly configures image runtime settings and tracks image lineage and compliance. This helps to provide a better experience for developers using your image.

For example, you can add metadata to provide helpful descriptions of your image, or offer suggestions on other images that may also be needed.

This topic only defines the metadata needed by the current set of use cases. Additional metadata or use cases may be added in the future.
