#### Container image types

Four image types are currently supported:

• base : foundation layer for other images
• language : images configured to support development in a specific language
• apps : extension of the language environment supporting Agave apps
• reactors : extension of the language environment supporting Reactors

#### Architecture

Images are layered hierarchically to promote layer caching and help ensure that essential configurations and computational assets get propagated to developers and researchers relying on them.
