Explanation

Explanations provide a wider perspective of Imagecraft. They aid in understanding the concepts and relationships of Imagecraft as a complete system.

Parts are how software is brought into images. When an image is built, its parts are processed in a series of ordered, reproducible steps.

• Parts

• Lifecycle details

• Overlay step

Files travel as bundles through the parts lifecycle. These bundles are called filesets.

• Filesets
