Create a container image

caution

1. The scope of the container image does not include the data in the default directories /home and /work of the container. Please note the installation location of the packages before creating an image. Python package installation notes can be found at Python package installation guide.
2. When you store more than 10 GB of data in the container system directory (not /home or /work directory of Hyper File System (HFS)), the container image might not be created normally.
   You can check used capacity of the container system catalog / by entering the command df -h.
   If there are any questions, please contact our Technical Support or Customer Service, thank you!
