Identifies image specific features, such as Teradici enabled or nVidia drivers
images.coreweave.cloud/id
Image ID used during CI/CD
images.coreweave.cloud/latest
Boolean tag for the latest image revision
images.coreweave.cloud/name
Complete image name, as displayed in the Web UI
images.coreweave.cloud/os-name
Parent OS
images.coreweave.cloud/os-version
Subsection of OS, such as Standard or Professional Edition
images.coreweave.cloud/private
Boolean tag for testing images not intended to be used
images.coreweave.cloud/region
Datacenter region the image resides in
images.coreweave.cloud/version
Date tag for when the image was built
