* **Copy your Container image tag.**

Your image URL tag should be in this format **docker.io/example-org/my-image:latest** : This is a reference to a Docker
Container image .

Here we are using an already existing image \*\*docker.io/heygordian/node-app:latest \*\* and click on "Next Container
Resources"

* **Review and see the status of your Container which is successfully "Running"**

**Note:**

* There currently a max **image size of 10 GB (note: this may change)**
* We pull and store images at moment of container group creation, so if the image is modified they will have to create a
  new container group

**Status of container groups with private images**

* While the image is being pulled and stored, the container group status will be pending
* Once the image is ready, the container group status will change to stopped, and the container group can be started.

**Failures**

A few unique failures can occur with container images stored on private registries

* Failure to authenticate: This will occur if we are unable to authenticate to the private registry with the credentials
  provided. Double check the credentials are correct and try again.
* Failure to store: This will occur if we are unable to store the container image. This should be a temporary condition
  so try again.
* Image too large: This will occur if the container image is too large. You will need to use a smaller container image.
