Base Image

Base image is being built using docker build command. Dockerfile is the key to build the base image. Prerequisite tools/scripts should be defined in Dockefile. Container will spawn with the tools/scripts/utilities based on the Dockerfile definition. Base Image can be pushed to DockerHub/Nexus 3.x or any of the supported docker registries for further usage.
