What is the purpose of "docker manifest" and manifest lists in supporting multi-architecture images?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) A manifest list is a "fat manifest" that references multiple platform-specific image manifests (e.g. amd64, arm64) under a single tag, allowing "docker pull" to automatically select the correct image variant for the host's architecture
Correct Answer
A manifest list is a "fat manifest" that references multiple platform-specific image manifests (e.g. amd64, arm64) under a single tag, allowing "docker pull" to automatically select the correct image variant for the host's architecture
A manifest list (image index) groups multiple architecture-specific manifests under one tag/reference; the client's platform determines which underlying manifest (and thus image) is actually pulled, enabling a single tag to work across architectures.
