+![BaseImage](imgs/cello_baseimage.png)
+
+The purpose of this baseimage is to act as a bridge between a raw ubuntu/xenial configuration and the customizations
+required for supporting a Hyperledger Cello environment. The build process is generally expensive so it is fairly
+inefficient to JIT assemble these components on demand. Hence bundled into baseimage and subsequently cached on
+the public repositories, so they can be simply consumed without requiring a local build cycle.

+The docker image is also tagged with architecture and release details.
